    I've been primarily using quad cores for about 5 or so years now... but I have built a couple 6-core machines.

    I don't know if it's allowed, but as some may know I'm within days of building myself my dream system, which will operate on a AMD FX-8120 8 Core chip! So in anticipation of that build, I voted 8 core!

    But on what I've always felt to be my backup computer, my Toshiba X-205 runs a Intel Core 2 Duo T2800 @ 2.8G's, overclocked to 3.0G's!

    sad to say that I originally voted for Quad Core but now my motherboard is totally f:ed so now I only have a DualCore...plus then when I get a new one it will be an 8-core Intel i7 :)
