i would go for the 1st one amd quad cores are good but quite new to the market and cannot match intel for both cost and speed, if you can afford a quad core i would spend your money on the best you can buy and also overclocking them is easy and can produce a very fast system. Just make sure you sort your coolin out!!

yeah, i wish i could get the extreme, but i can barely afford the q6600. i think i will wait until the money permits!!
