Intel C2D/Q prices in Q3 - Quadcore for only 266USD

[mAJORD]

I wonder if I would notice any difference in speed or gaming If i changed from an E6600 to the Q6600?

this chart looks promising:

That chart reflects 3Dmark06's use of all 4 cores for the CPU test. Which is completely unrealistic at the current time

For any current game I can think of, It won't have any advantage at all over a dual core.

Still wondering what level of multicore (multithreading) support the likes of Crysis will have?

Crysis will have an option to completely do environmental calculations on a separate core, so it will need at least dual core cpu to play properly I had somewhere a list of upcoming games that support quad cores, UT3 is one of them

yes it will support but quads will never make a difference in gaming especially with DX10
