Just as an "afterthought"....:-)

Would there really be that great a difference to my machine's performance if
I took out the Core2Duo (E6600) and replaced it with the Quad Core Q6600?
Both have the same clock speed of 2.4GHz.

Whether you would benefit depends a lot on what you do with your PC. I
think the vast majority of users would not see much difference between
a Core 2 Duo and a Quad Core.

All of my current computers are Core 2 Duo. For the things I do right
now, Quad Core wouldn't be noticeable.

I will probably get back into video conversion and other video apps.
In that case, converting a large video file to .mp4, i.e. a batch
process that usually runs a long time, is one infrequent area where I
would benefit.
