Actually, since the Core 2 Quads are still the old 65nm process and the Core 2 Duos have moved to the 45nm process, there would be extra speed and power efficiency savings for the dual core. Plus, the Quads have remained the same prices, but the new Duos are cheaper (the replacement for the E6850 is about $50 cheaper than the Q6600)! Extra incentive to put in a good dual-core rather than a mediocre quad-core. Can’t be bothered to go into the “edit” screen.
