So I'm thinking about upgrading my music comp again in a few months and got to looking at the new (newer) Intel CPU's that came out as supposedly they blow everything away.
So, I go over to www.pricewatch.com to see what I'm looking at (I'm looking at both the QX6700 quad and the X6800 dual MB combo's, their top two supposedly). I get to reading the specs on the MB that you can get with the QX6700 and it says 'CPU supported - dual core'???? Am I correct in assuming that to get the quad core now would be a waste of money as there are no motherboards that support all of its cores? I guess that would explain its lack luster benchmarks with the X6800.
Thanks.
