Given i do a fair amout of video encoding (mpg to avi and DVD9 to DVD5's and avi's) then it would seem that quad is my best bet. More cores don't always mean faster program execution. It does improve multi-tasking. I don't know how often you play with video or photos, but a higher FSB might be better than more cores. -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!
