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.
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)

    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???

    ya all depends on the app.not da algorithm.....:lol::lol:if the app cant utilize all cores no use..........
