New Gaming rig suggestions?

Its not that quad core is useless, its just that most things aren't programmed to properly make use of all of the cores. Ask someone else on the forum whos used both to see if they've seen a huge difference by switching to quad core.

With gaming people might see better FPS in dual cores than Quads, as stated above, most games are only coded to support 2 cores. I know only one game currently quad-supported, HL2.

Only things I can think of that have been publicized are the Nvidia 9 series cards, but nobody has any pricing on those really, and then the Yorkfield intel processors.
