the quad core is too early and doomed to die once stuff actually starts taking advantage it will be too weak.

This processor is 1/2 the cost, saving money for a more powerful quad-core that isn't doomed to die as it is fully usable AT THAT TIME, not 1-2 years in the future when celerons will almost be overpowering it.

He's spending $600 on just the cpu, Zek. I don't think that qualifies as low to midrange. lol*Is too lazy to read the debate*
I'd get a sub-$100 Athlon 64 processor. Good performance, low price, low heat, low noise, with plenty of room for such features as a gigabyte of RAM, an Nforce motherboard, and a reasonable video card. I know that Intel may own the performance crown, but for low to midrange offerings, AMD simply can't be beat .

Naughty, naughty Zek. You didn't even read the first post, did you? hahahaWell, see, it's hard to say, because the title of this thread is "for PC under $600", so...I have to reccomend low/midrange offerings .
