Well, if you're holding off for a while, I'm too late. haha.

If you're still after an upgrade, I'd say Quad. Not because I'm biased though, lol.

An i7 would require you to blow more money on a new board and RAM. Going for another Dual won't really see much of an improvement, and probably wouldn't be a justified upgrade. Going for one of the later Quads (like the Q9550) would probably be the best idea. Like mentioned, they held up very well against the i7's and you won't need to replace anything else. It'll do everything you need and more.

Yeah I'll just think about it for a bit, chances are prices will just stay the same. Also depends if I'm patient enough lol. Thanks for the input though.

Hello
I am running some programs that use only one core.
What do you think is better: E8600 3.33GHZ or I7 920 2.66GHZ ?
Thanks
