Both Intel and AMD have quad-core processors out. AMD hawks their quad-core as having four independent cores as opposed to Intel having two two-cores side by side, but I haven't read how that makes a difference. Either should do fine for greater multitasking power.
I would recommend going for Intel's quad-core series only because they run on LGA 775 boards, which are currently cheaper than AMDs AM2+ boards and won't bottleneck your hardware options. If you also know how to overclock a processor, Intel's Q6600 is capable of going far above stock speeds with the right cooling equipment. Lastly, upgrading your HDD to a 10,000 RPM drive can help increase your computers performance by a small degree, if you really want to explore all options. How ya doing, buddy?  |

Not off the top of my head. Tigerdirect has the Q6600 listed cheaper than newegg, but it only ships to the UK, France, and Germany.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
