Yes thats true, I see a big difference up to around 3.2 then it levels off with only marginal gains to 3.6-3.8.

So you think game developers wll leapfrog the current quads in favor of nehalem..glad I didnt buy a quad then

You can't talk about future in computers because once nehalem comes out and if it proves itself well the quads like the 6600 will become obsolete for the new stuff.
