Default what makes my gaming experience better?

for example E6850 3.00GHz x2
or a Q6600 2.40GHz x4

(hope i ant spamming the forums, ive been making alot of posts recently)

I would go for a Quad core over a Dual core but that is a personal preference.

You get more raw processor performance out of a Q6600 but as you say, it is harder to use.

I expect more games will come out that are optimized for more cores.
