ur an idiot if u buy a quad core computer for gaming.

quad cores are meant to be for servers and engineering software and things along the lines of serious multitasking.

Drewg you obviously know NOTHING about a modern CPU or software.

Many games are designed to work with multi-core CPUs and can utilise all of the cores at the same time.

Only an idiot can't see the benefit of using quad core systems for gaming.

Get with the times before your left behind.

Vortigon, please make this expansive list of games ready to take advantage of SMP at this time... cause your list will  be neither that long or impressive. For some of those games that even are SMP you will most likely find  a bottleneck elsewhere in the system which will make the extra core a moot point. There is a reason why they are dumping some quadcore processors at prices below dualcores you know.

 

Only an idiot buys into the belief that quad core is  a benefit to gaming right now. Down the road may be one thing but the quad offerings of today will be long outdated.

actually your both somewhat right more cores more often than not are ONLY utilized as Drewg said by typically higher end enterprise applications. 

 

vort- the majority of the software on the market including games DOES NOT support a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th core, so I would actually tell you to get with the times or better understand the technology before you blast someone.

a high end video card and a good amount of ram will be much better than having that extra core or two on your system

granted if you can have both that much better, but you WILL NOT see the "majority" of software and games supporting more than one core for at least another 6-18 months.  KEY WORD MAJORITY, my god you people are so quick to judge its ridiculous.

Can still play most games on my semi-budget 5 year old system (which I bought and built 5 years ago), only thing I changed in those 5 years is add some hard-drive space (from 150Gigs to 950Gigs), and add a little extra RAM, and I think my Graphics card is only 4 years old, budget 9600 series radeon. The one area my machine is showing it's age is in the newest FPS games (last half year or so), other then that don't have much of a problem.
