Core 2 quad vs Core 2 Duo computer buying?

[imported_jwr18]

I'm looking for a new computer. I don't need much in power but I'd like to get the most power for as little as possible. I'd like to stay under $1000 but closer to $500. cyberpowerpc.com has two computer on their front page. Which one would you buy and what videocard option would you choose.

PC 1

Core 2 quad SLI

PC 2

Intel Core 2 Duo

Thanks

James

And get an XPS 630.

Only got one pic, internals (those are 8800 GT's installed)

PSU is 750W (quad 12V) and has two 6pin power connectors. Nice case, roomy, well-designed. It can handle Q9000 series cpu's and Dell has drivers for Vista 64bit (or should, they offer it), so some room for upgrades in the future.

Black or Red chassis...
