a lot of wrong info here. only difference between the two CPUs are the number of cores. if the applications cannot use more than 2 core, the duo and quad both perform same if other specs are same (cache, clock speed, fsb)machan C2D walata wada C2Q honda wenne C2Q eka use karala thiyena algorithm eka nisai.Eke instructions read karana widiya C2D walata wada sahena wenas.Anika Eke cores 4k thiyenawa.So more fast will be appeared to it.Umba machan C2D eke 6MB cache thibunata ekata yanna epa mokada C2Q eke thiyena 4MB cache eka eke cores walin full utilize karagannawa eke performance walata.So go for a C2Q.That's my recommendation.

if the app cant utilize all cores no use..........i hope you are referring to the E8400 and the Q6600
ya as anusha said multi thread apps run faster on da quad........
the best option is u buy the quad and OC it to 3.0 or higher with good cooling.....
then you have a running system.......the L2 of course will be @Mb less but it dont matter
anyway im not aware of the processor prices lately.........
how much is the e8400 and the q6600 now???

q6600 is discontinued machan..![]()
macho, if u can try to find out i7 processor better then all, right now Fastest Processor on the Planet..

good luck =)


actually it can be OCed to 4GHz easily. you might need a better cooler though.ya the 920i would be great can be ocd to 3.4![]()
What abt da price of Core i7 processors?
