Msi gt725-212us

I just saw this on Amazon.com. It is a to be released Q9000 Quad core version of the MSI GT725. It looks as if the only difference in specs is the CPU. Any idea as to the performance difference between the P9500 Core 2 Duo and the Q9000 Core 2 Quad chips? I can not seem to find much info on this and I do not see info on the MSI website here in the US. Thanks!

So either its a 2.53ghz dual core with 6mb of cache or a 2ghz quad core with same amount of cache.

Yes that's the quandary! Which would make a better gaming platform. I think the 9500 will be faster for gaming and the quad core would give better long term use, but not sure on this. Anyone have any suggestions? The GT725 with the 4850 in it seems to be the best bang for the buck right now. Just wondering which would be a better deal for gaming and multimedia?
