I believe window's and mac's server os' support quad

'core 2 duos will be obsolete by christmas, they're sole purpose is to lure your money out of your wallet just before they bring out a new set fo cores to take away just as much money again.
If you spend money you've saved on a core 2 duo now you'll be kicking yourself in 3-4 months time.' - You
Thats only in the mind of people with tens of thousands of dollars who buy like 5 computers a year... If you thought that way, then truely whats the point of buying a computer in the first place if it IS going to be obsolete? The thing is lets say you buy an e6400 (conroe) and over clock it to 3ghz, it will be basically the same as the x6800. And becuase you have a near high end system it wont be bottlenecked for like 2 years even though a new line of cpu's will be released. And the graphics card, as long as you get over 20 fps its playable. Its just depending on weither you want high end ALL the time, or willing to gracefully use your computer's totally technological lifespand. Another example is people deciding on either getting 7600GT's or 7900GT's. The people getting 7600GT"S figure, they'll directly get the 8000's when there released. The people getting 7900gt's think, hey dx10 wont be into much effect untill 1 year after its released so lets max settings every game while we can, then buy an 8XXX.
And i dont really see how conroes are made to lure people out of there wallets, a 250USD conroe over clocked can easily beat 900 dollar processers..
