Is Mame still using 2 cores only? (aka should I get a core 2 duo or quad?)

This maybe beaten to death but I wanted to be sure what's going on right now. I want a faster processor so I can play some more 3D games like Tekken Tag or Soul Calibur. It's either a Q9650 or an E8600 depending on what I really need as the price difference is quiet huge. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!

Still 2 core as far as I know.
But the non-mame games would still benefit from quad core, so if playing them is a priority as high as mame, you should consider quad-core. The Phenom's and Zambezi's are quite affordable for how much power they pack.

My mainboard wont support those... needs to be intel quad or core 2 duo unfortunately. Right now I have Q6600 with 2,4ghz which is not enough for some of the game i'd love to play.

Oh yeah, a new motherboard increases the investment substantially. But processor upgrades for LGA 775 boards are quickly reaching end-of-life. I personally wouldn't put any more money into that board.

maybe I'll wait until the processors for the socket will be sold for next to nothing. thanks mate!
