Seriously?

What a crock of shit.

We have a folding team right here with a nice faq put together by supergrover

We are a friendly bunch and happy to help out new folders.

And we NEED more team members to help make HCF a team to be reckoned with

On the e6700 vs q6600, i would go with the quad. It won't oc quite as high but i doubt the difference in clock speed will matter in most if not all games. And as more games start to take advantage of more cores you will be ready for them.
quads will run all kinds of background stuff (like folding!), and crunch video without breaking a sweat.
