you guys realise there is no gain of the i5 over the i3 right ?
My current gen cpu knowledge isnt top notch but correct me if i am wrong the i3-2100 is a dual core with hyperthreading (so 4 threads) and the i5-2400 is a true quad core is it not?

This is correct, and it also has double the cache. The I5 will also perform better on single threaded apps because it benefits from the turbo mode (if you aren't using all cores it will clock itself up a few hundred MHz.
