FiringSquad has a preview for the Core 2 Quad Q6600. I almost got tongue tied saying that.

4 cores for $851 is a steal if you are going to use them all (workstation or server use). But I don't see them selling a lot for the desktop dominated by single threaded programs. Will be interesting to see how the multi-threaded games coming out will do on quad core. The $530 price will be a lot better if they drop to that.
 
Heh, I had been holding out for a Core 2 Duo, but after hearing about these, I think I can wait a little longer. Besides, there's at least a few games coming out that take advantage of multiple cores, which makes me happy.
