What would be better for gaming purposes cpu wise, forget the gpu and not meaning that im not using a gpu lol. But a Phenom X4 9650 or Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 both at stock speeds and using 4gb ddr2 @800 MHz. I know that ones a dual core and ones a quad but the first gen phenoms wernt great and well the core2 series is what brought intel to the top over amd in gaming desktop cpus. so would the dual core intel beat a quad core phenom?
