Hey,
Just wondering why the Q6600's have come down in price so much? I remember when they were like $650AUD and now i can pick one up for $330AUD... Is there something new coming out soon? I mean its still not bad, 2.4ghz with 2x4mb caches...
technology prices will always go down. Newer technologies are being processed everyday and there will be something better than quad processors just a few months ~ years from now.
I think I will skip the quads and wait till the new ones like 8 cores will come out at cheap prices
I agree, but in a way, I wish that the operating system would allocate the cores to certain jobs even within a single program. This would of course take some doing and some standardization of program code, but well worth it.
