i know that if you're a gamer dual is better than quad at this moment for your money, but people are starting to say that future games will be designed to take advantage of quads. how realistic is this and how soon in the future is this a possibility? do current games running on dual cores even take advantage of both cores? and have major game developers come out and announced that they will be writing their games to scale better on multiple cores?
i'd like to think quads will be fully utilized in future games, but the realist in me tells me that's a wishful thinking. maybe a few games will, but will the majority? i don't replace my system often, so my CPU choice has to be a long term decision. how reasonable is it to choose the quad and hope to be somewhat rewarded down the line?
