      Go for Quad core if u want to buy now and u cant wait...... but my suggestion is u shud wait and go for core i5..... it is better than q9400......... the reason i m suggesting u q9400 is because of the apps u mentioned otherwise for gaming E8500 is more than enough

      depends on the apps ,,

      most audio n video support quads n u will see better results there

      gamers havnt had much support from quad cores uptill now ,, but upcoming games will have em

      ,, personally i perfer the quad

      Must have "Hori Real Arcade Pro:EX Premium VLX"

      LGA1156 will have Corei5s aswell as the Corei7 800 Series

      difference between Corei7 800 and 900 iz not much
      as benchmarks show they r equal in most cases

      Corei7 lacks QPI and Triple Channel Memory but it gains an On-Chip PCI-E Controller lalong with Corei5s

      LGA1366 Platform iz for enthusiast who wuld be moving on to Corei9 Gulftown

      while LGA1156 iz for Mainstream users with alot of Processors choices
      Corei7 800 4Cores/8Threads
      Corei5 700 4Cores/4Threads
      Corei5 600 2Cores/4Threads
      Corei3 500 2Cores/4Threads

      i wuld suggest u w8 for Corei5 Processor as one to be released "Corei5 750 2.66GHz" will retail for 196$ and iz faster than Q9550
