The system you have now is really, really new. I think it's too soon to upgrade again. I just ran CPU-Z on my desktop and lol, I'm still running on the Newcastle core. Can anyone remember that? First gen Athlon 64. So funny. But it does run quite good though.
There's some new stuff coming out later this year which is even better, but probably cost too high to afford. The quad cores do look tempting since it's drop in price.
I've been reading news on Intel and that they're working heavily on optical CPU. They're very close to releasing one soon with speeds exceeding 10GHz. They found a coupler or something that can stabilize things or something, doohicky, thingamajig, something, something. Even when they do come out, they're going to be very expensive until the market matures. In the meantime, multi core is still the way to go. Next up are the 8-Core CPUs.
