My only worry about quads is weather or not I'll be about to get back to 3.8G that I'm now at. I hear it’s pretty tough to get a quad past 3.6G. And yes, they are great on the synthetic benches, but in real world gaming, their full power it not used. From my benches and researching online, I match most quads now with equal graphics. Can the new 45nm quads oc like us 45nm core2's?
