For gaming only, you are absolutely right Kolath. Also other things like word processing where my typing limits my higher FSB is of no value. For some of the other things that one normally do with a PC then the speed can help. As I said, it comes down to your use.
The other consideration is how long you'll keep your PC. If it several years, go with the quad as gaming and other apps will grow into it. If your upgrade within a year or so then I would just buy the cheaper of the two.
Good new is that you probably can't make a bad mistake either way. They both will work for you.
