I am not interested in playing games on my PC. All I want to is run office 2007 and surf the internet, using a PC running vista home premium 32-bit. Which processor should I get (E8400 or Q6600). They are about the same price, but I would like to know the best one for my uses. Thanks.

Pick your benchmarks, and compare the performance between the e8400 and the q6600. No opinions there, just cold hard facts. icon_yikes

I would say Q6600 as well.
Quad-Core is the near-future, Dual-Core is the present.
The Q6600 will be obsolete later than the E8400.
