I'm thinking of a system upgrade. It's been a while since I've shopped 
computers. Dell has a discount deal with the company (I wished I had 
known this when I bought my wife's laptop ... I literally found out the 
day after I pushed the "purchase" button)  So, I start specing a system. 
When greeted with the processor options, I found something drool-worthy. 
Core 2 Quad. O.o (!!)

[Mmmmm, thinking very pleasant thoughts of POV 3.7 and this machine.] 
Speced out with everything except the video card, it's less than $600 
(!!!) I'll have to get the card I want separately, though.

I'm wondering how it'll fare in terms of gaming performance, and 
photoshop performance (the only other big CPU soaking things I do)

I'm planning on installing a mid-level DX10 GeForce card into it for my 
gaming pleasure (something that *might* run flight sim decently)
