Just wait until the end of 2008. Nehalem platform (Intel): native oct-core, hyperthreading (two threads per core = 16 threads), integrated DDR3 controller, and the FSB will finally be replaced with a point-to-point system.

The quads of today will have nothing on that. The performance jump will be massive!

I can't wait any longer though. Been without a dedicated music computer for a year now, since my laptop died, hence the build now. For those who can wait until Q2 2009, this new stuff should be really affordable, and also upgradable.
Core 2's coming to the end of its life span.
