Done my homework, almost went with a E6850 at the same price and found an article over at X-bit that showed the Quad core just shredding the Dual core CPU in an overclocked match. Granted, the Dual core does have advantages when it comes to gaming (which I'll be using it for, along with music recording/mixing/mastering), but the Quad core owns the Dual core on just air cooling.
My question is - what would you folks recommend for a solid mobo with good OCing options in BIOS? I don't have much cash, and I'm spending a lot on the CPU, so I'd like to keep the mobo cost somewhat down, preferably beneath the $200 US mark.
