I think you mean Core 2 Quadro for the 4 core version. And I don't
think anyone is too keen on spending $1000+ just for the proc. When
it's affordable, I'm definitely excited to try it out.
No, I mean the Core 2 Extreme - it has 4 cores:

Having a decent mobo that supports Core 2 duo though ought to support
it when it goes down in price and more software is available to take
advantage of the 4 cores. The Quadro's good, too.
