wbmw & Tenchu, I think yb is looking at the wrong type of games. Q3 is known not to be very CPU dependent. Now some of the flight simulators and some games like Battlefield1942 put a good bit of stress on the CPU. While they run well now on the latest CPUs, if they make improvements in the AI of the games, that will add a huge hit on the CPU. If they plan that in such a way as to be able to take advantage of dual CPUs it can really smooth things out. As a matter of fact, one of the comments of many of the folks who have gone the dual route is not about raw speed increase, but in the lack of any hesitations and bogging down; "creamy smoothness" is one description I remember reading about.
