Its always better to buy a low end quad core processor than a high end C2D.
Cuz a high end C2D will only hav a higher clk speed and larger cache and only 2 processing cores,but a quad core with even lower clk speed will out perform cuz of its 4 processing cores.

For animation , the more the cores , the faster it gets :D ... so a quad will shine anyday :D .. get a good mobo and oc that .. u should easily hit 3 GHz atleast ..

^^ Yo, please specify the heat aspect about Quads too.

Consider this scenario -
Intel QX6700 @ 3.4GHz Full Load under water = 70C+ on each core.Power Draw of ONLY the CPU MIGHT be in the range of 400W ;)

To put it bluntly, Kentsfield or Quad Core avlbl now are bloddy furnaces even though show exceptional performance.Remember that they are 2 Conroe Cores glued together,something like Smithfield,2 Prescotts glued together.
SO think about it,is it really worth spending 40-50k on it ?

Its best to avoid the current kentsfields as they are way too power hungry. Once the native quadcores arrive, they'd be a better deal as TDP will be much lower.
