I'm really hooked on running servers as my main system. My dual Xeon is smooth as silk, and the server motherboards are far more stable than desktops. I don't get the hubbub about the dual core CPU's, I've been running 2 CPU's for years. I still have a dual P3-450 that I run Linux on. It's about time the rest of you people catch up. I hope to never have a main system with less than 2 physical sockets. I wish I could afford 4, but those run well above $1000 just for the motherboard.
So, what about Quake 2 or something old? You can probably get good framerates on that. We could do Wolfenstein, the multiplayer portion of it is available as a free download.......

The problem is.. nothing really supports quad cores for the consumer (ripping a DVD, compiling code and surfing valuemd doesn't count).
I honestly haven't cared much about upgrading to the latest components as of late. I think I could be getting old.... or it could be that I do more with my 800mhz G4 and 1.5Ghz Celeron than most people do with their Core 2 Duo and then I make fun of their wasted 1500 dollar "investment"
(yes, I have a Celeron.. Laugh all u want)
