I can think of so few software that utilizes more than 2 cores and even less that I personally would use, thus making the greater processing power of the e6850, more keen to what I would use it for. Just b/c you think buying a 6 month old processor make you think your future proof dose not mean it is true. MAYBE when intel releases their 45nm FASTER and HIGHER FSB quadcores in the end of January, it would be more wise to go quadcore as a future proof, but we are talking about RIGHT NOW

Ever notice how process intensive apps are almost always multi threaded? What would you need a fast processor for? Video editing, rendering, compiling, cad? Well guess what?! All the quality video editing, rendering, cad, and compilers utilize quad core. That and for $40 more you can upgrade from the e6600 dual core to the quad core version. I still don't know why you are such a fan boy of dual core.
