[QUOTE="svnipp, post: 601997, member: 47785"] I think you will find that by the time you are needing a Quad core, much less 8 cores to play games you will be well past due for a new system. Very few games are multithreaded at this point. Even those that are multithreaded are not going to be efficiently using more than 2 cores maybe 4 cores in another couple of years. If however, your wife does any kind of music editing/composing on the Mac, you might find the extra horsepower useful but that is definitely outside of my area of expertise. I ordered my system and was virtually in tears when I saw the 2 to 3 weeks shipping time. However, I got a shipping confirmation e-mail about 3 days after I ordered it. I ended up actually receiving it 9 days after I ordered it. FedEx made the last day painful for me by delivering it at 7:30PM when I was waiting for it on pins and needles all day. I'm extremely happy with my purchase, just need to replace this aluminum keyboard and Mighty Mouse. WoW by the way runs flawlessly on it. I only wish that EQ2 were available for OS X. [/QUOTE]
