I just saw a review posted at Anandtech about the new Athlon X4 920. It's a $99 chip and is more or less just as good as this Q8200 quad core.
If you are starting from scratch and you are leaning towards intel, go with the i5/i7 chips.
If it is cheap budget system you want, go with AMD Athlon X4 920.
Avoid this C2Quad Q8200.
$99 for E8200 if you have a Micro Center near you.

Read the xbitlabs review and compare the power consumption of the Q8200 to the 620, you might change your mind. Besides, Intel will react fast and have a $99 Quad in a few weeks.
Uh, the Microcenter deal is a Core DUO E8200. This is a Quad.
#4, you are correct, I updated my post.
The E8200 (2 Cores) has 6MB Cache and operates at 2.66GHz.
The Q8200 (4 Cores) has 4MB Cache and operates at 2.33GHz.
Unless running an application that uses more than 2 cores, I doubt the smaller cache and slower frequency will help.
Depends on what you use it for, I'd rather have more cores that higher mhz. I multitask lots, so I went quad core.
Also, #1, going up to i7 usually means a new chip socket and expensive motherboard architecture, so not only does the chip cost more, but so will the motherboard.
That said, I went with an i7 on my current build because I will then have more headroom for upgrading in the future.
at this point, anyone building a new system from scratch should look elsewhere. Only those with an existing LGA775 setup should be considering these
Good information. Thanks guys.
