Core2Duo or Quadcore

Hello, want to change gear, I wondered if I was taking a big Core2Duo or quadcore;

I heard that Core2Duo for the games were better than 4cores. True or not?

Then I would have looked at ASUS P5Q-Deluxe and I was advised a E8600.
What do you think?

And I add 2GB of RAM to. thanks for reading !

I advise you to take a Core 2 duo because they are actually more effective in games= For example Crysis operates 2 :bleh:
For more 2gb ram is useless especially if you run in 32bit

In general there are two schools:

- Those who say that the quad core is nothing because there is no optimized for gaming and that therefore a dual is more prefer

- Those who say that a quad is much better because the application will be increasingly optimized for and when this will happen, they are more powerful than the dual.

Personally I am in favor of a second opinion because it was already seen at the time of the choice between Monocular and dual core. Any more games running well on a C2D

Finally you had to make you notice the above, there are lots of the above topic.

What is already in use as you make your PC?

quad core for me, Q6600 good rolling and OC

i also suggest core 2 duo am using it!! its really good for all type of games
