processor upgrade?

[coreservers]

currently I run a core 2 duo E8500, unsure whether to upgrade to a core 2 quad Q6600. I dont want any "you should buy these" kind of answers, just responses to this particular hardware setup.

If it's strictly for gaming and those games don't utilize the extra cores then keep what you have.

Food for thought:

Hope this helps.

First off whats your motherboard?

No, keep the E8500. Better yet, overclock it to >4.0ghz

Or get an i7.
