    * Advice * needed on my new Gaming Rig

    I was actually considering either the E8500 (x9.5 multiplier) or the Q6600 (x9 multiplier) for the sake of oc-ing, and I actually had preference on the C2D because everybody said so --> most of the games are designed to run on 2 cores...etc. But then I will play GTA4, and its recommended...
