okorn it depends on what the tasks you want your CPU to do. If you're only worried of games or general internet usage, C2D will do it well. Otherwise it would be useful to choose quad core. And be aware that in future dual cores will become more and more unsuitable for high performance computing, so if you want a cpu for a 1.5 year or more it would be better to get Q6600.
I just managed to do 10.6s in Superpi 1M with boxed copper cooling at 4.35Ghz and CSX Diablo memory. Default boxed cooling is from Conroe-L celerons.
Just get a E8200. Its fast, cool, and overcloks very good. Also price is way lower. Moonsond, processor will be sold starting at 20.jan due to official launch.
