You can easily hit 3.6GHz with stock cooling, and even with a normal overclocking mobo.But to overclock a Q8200, you need a highend mobo (because the multiplier is 7 and to reach 3.6GHz, you need ~515MHz FSB), highend RAM and very good cooling. You'll be able to hit 2.8GHzish easily though. If you are not into heavy multithreaded applications, especially graphics rendering, the dual core will be the best choice, and you will save like Rs. 8000 as well.Quad core will use more power, so your power bill also be more with the quad core. Not a lot, but in the long run it can become significant. It's all up to you. It's your money, it's for what YOU do.For me, there is no need for a quad core. Right now, the price difference is too much to suggest a quad core, especially when the clock speeds are vastly different as well. If both were running at the same speed AND if the price difference was only 8000, then maybe a quad core is *more bang for the buck*.</blockquote>
