The i7's are Quad Cores.

You mean Core 2 Quad or i7 Quad

You'll spend almost, if not just as much, for a high end Core 2 Quad
system as you will with a i7 920 system.

So, if you have the budget, and you're stuck on a Quad, get the i7.

Just to be perfectly honest though, you probably wouldn't notice a performance
difference between an i7 system and a higher end Core 2 Quad system, unless
you were going for benchmarks.

But, you'll only save a few hundred dollars by choosing the Core 2 system, so
that's why I say go for the i7 if you have the cash.

I wish I waited a year, then id have gone Core i7.. Oh well =(

You and me both, for what i paid i could have 12gb ram, two 24" monitors, two 1tb hdd's and a bloodrage foxconn motherboard, and prolly two gtx 275's. Oh well, technology changes fast lol, i wont be upgrading for awhile, my quad is plenty fast for now(and will go higher once i watercool).
