I need advice.

[spec]

Like everyone has confirmed above with reasons, get a Duo, don't go for Quadocore

The only thing I'll add is - C2Q has more cooling requirements for an overclock compared to C2D.
4 cores - more heat, the TDP is more per increase.
All that said, I do have a Quad, but my requirements are diff, I use insane programs to run 4 threads and
process 1GB of file data from the RAM (using a RAM disk)... Muhahahah I need more power !
It's a pity Quad runs at 2.4 and raising this to 3Ghz requires a lot, and after you do all that, there aren't many
games/Apps which can use all 4 cores. Video editing is a dream though...
