Which processor is better for gaming? Which is better for overall applications?

The Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 - 3.4Ghz, 4mb cache, and factory overclocked... or...

The Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-Core QX6700 - 3.2Ghz, 2x4mb cache, and factory overclocked.

Get back to me. Thanks. =]

I don't really think that there is much of a difference.

Maybe the quad-core by a small amount, but you should also take into account the price. You might be paying $200 extra for only a minimal increase in performance.

depending on the rig there is no noticable difference between those 2 processors for gaming

for standard overall, they are overkill for any mainstream applications.
