i have to buy a new pc.........i wanna know which ov the 2 processors is better as long as gaming is concerned....

core 2 quad 8200
core 2 duo E8400

i ve heard that with a core 2 duo E8..... crysis can run at a better frame rate with the same grafic card as compared to a core 2 quad.......................???
 
Yea, the Q8200 processor is garbage. It doesn't overclock well and was supposed to replace the Q6600 but it only has half the cache. If you want quad, go for either Phenom II X4 or Q9400/Q9550.
 
The E8400 is the better option for pure performance. The lower clock speeds and low cache in the Q8200 hurt it and as gt7 said, it won't OC very well. The extra cores don't do much in overall performance.
