Do you have a 6 Core Processor

hey,

Does anyone have a 6 core processor? Intel or AMD
I am curios to know if they see any significant performance increase over a respective quad core processor.

also post your desktop specs so we can compare.

My desktop has an AMD Phenom II X4 3 ghz processor, and I want to get a 6 core for my new gaming rig, and I was curios about the performance.

I have a Phenom II x6 1100T @ 4.2GHz.
I'm very happy with it, though as far as gaming you wont notice any difference performance wise vs a quad because games are hard to multi-thread, especially in excess of 4.
If you often run a lot of extra things in the background while you're playing, it may help your performance that way by alleviating load from your more utilized cores. Otherwise the overall difference will be negligible unless you do some heavy multitasking or render.

Thanks for the responses

@Tucker933 - I was under this impression as well,

I don't really do too much multi-tasking so i will stick with a quad core for now,
