I did, just about 2 years ago. Which is why I'm surprised to not see more of them.

I've got a Core 2 Quad.
What happened was that laptops and "average desktops" are still using Dual Cores and gamers have moved to the i7s. However I think there are still many computers being sold with Core 2 Quads...

I have a Core 2 Quad, and it's absolutely great.

That and almost all "name brand" computer sales companies like Dell, HP, etc - offer Core2Quads, but it's mostly a decision on the average consumer's part.

"Do I really need a quad? Probably not, i'm only going to be going online for email, school, youtube, myspace/facebook/twitter. And I can play Farmville on a Core2Duo anyway."
