They've said it will be optimised for running on multiple cores, don't know if that includes quads, might well do. They've also said it will take advantage of 64-bit instructions, so Vista 64-bit is looking more appealing.

I can't see anyone with either of those CPUs having trouble playing Crysis (from a CPU perspective anyway).
True, Yeah. I was planning on Vista 64-bit, not sure which flavor yet...
Home Premium is a pretty good bet.

I was thinking that, I think a co-worker of mine has Vista - Retail... So he'll just let me use it when I need to...

Personaly I went with the E6600 and got a motherboard that can handle the 1333FSB.  Right now there are very few MB's that can run that anyway.  The base of my computers is the mother board and just add the "toys" as "needed".  I constantly rotate out parts and never really ever have to buy everything at once.  I still using my x800 and HD's til next month when I can get new stuff.  In a few years I will get a better CPU if needed.  When talking thousandth's of a second I'll save the $200.
