And the difference in price is around 40 USDDo I get any benefits in getting a Quad instead of a Duo.

September 28, 200817 yr Hi mate,Your options sound rather good, however I would recommend that you get a bigger power supply (just in case you want to add another video card later)Cheers,Ralf.....

September 28, 200817 yr Author Thanks all for your inputs.A Duo core it will be then I think. And I was also thinking that a bigger powersupply would be a good thing.Anyway 8500 SEK (approx 550 USD) for the DUO E8500 3,16GHz rig, is not that bad I think.
