AMD's quad core thing isn't working out very well but the Intel one, the Core2Quad Q6600 2.4ghz cpu, is SCREAMING (and before this cpu I was an AMD user since 1998). Even with stock cooling 90+ percent of them will do 3ghz. Everyone I know who has one either runs it at 3.2 or 3.6 -- EVERY SINGLE PERSON. The thing is pure sickness, and multiple cores are the wave of the future. Games can very easily take advantage of multiple cores, its not nearly as tough as, say, writing a new engine from scratch for DX10. :wink:

Edit: And you are correct about Fry's but it is funny you say that because I just bought the first thing I've bought from them since 2002 or so, my wife's Core2Quad Q6600 cpu a week ago when they had a sale for 179.99 vs Newegg's price of 249.99 -- SICK EH. It went fine but I did buy it online and not at an actual Fry's store. They even delivered it to my door 22 hours after I ordered via the cheapest shipping method available, DHL ground!
