That is the Core 2 Quadro Extreme (notice the Q in the product number). Core 2 Duo Extreme has 2 cores. You put Duo in the original post. Not a big deal (I realize I'm splitting hairs), but I thought it might confuse someone who didn't know that there were 2 different processors called "Core 2 Extreme", one a Duo and one a Quadro. "Extreme" just means above a certain clock speed. > Having a decent mobo that supports Core 2 duo though ought to support > it when it goes down in price and more software is available to take > advantage of the 4 cores. The Quadro's good, too. Yeah, most of the Core 2 Duo boards will work with Core 2 Quadro, extreme or otherwise.
