Alright, I trust you guys and rely on your responses to guide my purchases. With the price between these 2 processors so close ($30), what would be the better long term investment? I am imagining that I may get 4Ghz out of the E8400 and 3.3Ghz out of the Q9300. Which one would be cooler @ these speeds? I also don't need a processor that runs me out of my office due to the furnace.
I'm leaning towards the Quad with Windows 7 around the corner and perhaps more games utilizing the multi-processors. I'm thinking it may have better longevity. What do you think?
