well both of those are $180 and i was looking at them too but decided to go with the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz 12MB L2 Cache LGA 775 95W Quad for $255 because i really felt the 12mb cache was worth the extra $75 but i do a lot of multitasking where the quad helps out.
if your only concern is gaming i think the popular choice there would be the dual core even thou i would always buy the quad if there was no price difference. i have just never been sufficiently convinced the dual core is faster then the quad, at least not enough for me to give up the computer side where the quad IS faster then the dual core.
plus its so damn hard to future proof computers why buy older tech?
