After much deliberation and reading I finally settled on the E6850 Core 2 Duo from Intel.
Even though my motherboard supports the new Penryn and the Quad Cores are all the
rage.  When push came to shove I just couldn't justify the extra $700 bucks for the minimal
performance gain.  If your using apps like Studio Max or Maya the Quad Cores really
start to shine but for gaming, web design, and even CS3, forget it.  There's a difference
between forking out cash for sweet hardware and just being an idiot.
