It's obviously quad Core. Multiple cores are always better then a single core because each core shares the load so the more cores, the less your computer has to work because the load is divided among all the cores. A single core works 100% when a dual core has each core working at 50% and quad is at 25%. Less over-heating, less lag, less everything.. cept price xD

Actually, in a dual core, each core works at 50%, but each core is double, so each mini core is working at 25%.

1 core = not the best
2 core = better
3core = better than the last
4 core = best
x core = greatest

Quad core, but if you aren't going to be using all that processing power, then you might as well use a dual core and save a little energy (TDP). It all depends on what you are doing.

| If you have the money, quad core, period. Don't listen to people who say duals are better for gaming, they're likely just taking what someone else said out of context.

That's what my brother told me :/
He told me that Core(2)Duo has two double cores.
And my deduction was that it was 2 cores, and each core has 2 mini cores inside.

They are only better in the fact that they're cheaper. A quad core generally has much better bang for the buck. A dual core 3GHz processor generally costs about the same as a quad core 2GHz processor. In this case, the dual core is probably superior, but if you have a little bit more money, I'd definitely go for the quad core.
I highly suggest a Q6600 with a bit of overclockage.

What he was referring to was the quads, they have 2 dies underneath that have 2 actual cores inside. If you were to pull the heatspreader off, you'd see what appeared to be 2 cores, but they're actually 2 seperate dual core dies on one chip, if that made sense. Basically, slap 2 Core 2 Duo's on one chip, that's their method of a quad.

Well people see that for the same price duals are always clocked higher, and most programs aren't mult-treaded. Of course people fail to realize the fact that any self-respecting enthusiast will overclock it anyway, making that whole concept irrelevant.

There are people out there that always want to buy the best for everything. I actually think a dual core is good enough for the average adult and teenager. A lot of games besides really recent ones don't even use all 4 cores. And seriously what are you going to be doing that will destroy your computer to the point of having to use 4 cores? It saves energy and like hundreds of dollars.
