Benchmark your CPU with super_pi!

Super PI is a bencharking tool available for Windows, Mac and Linux. You can find it at ftp://pi.super-computing.org/Linux/super_pi.tar.gz . Use 20 as your parameter value

My score on Zenwalk 2.8 on a 3Ghz 32 bit computer:

It took 4min 7sec for it to figure out 2M (2 million I guess) digits of Pi

Specs:
P4 2.26GHz
1gb of ram (w/ I dont know how much of it used by windows xp and all the crap i have running in the background)

I have a Quad Core at work and that same link you posted to Newegg has my review in it. I also posted a review of it here in Linuxquestions.org under the HCL.

I could not get the Quad Core working with CentOS, so beware if you plan on getting the Quad Core for a RedHat/Fedora System. I do not think it will work. It works great with Ubuntu Linux and I have it set up in my distributed computing cluster. I have it overclocked to 2.6GHz, about 285FSB on stock fan. I could probably push it more, but I did not want to risk frying the CPU. I was amazed at how cool it runs for 4 processors: under 30 degrees celcius!!

If the node is ever free, I'll try running this super pi test on it. I don't think you'll see that much faster results than the E6600 since the Quad Core is basically two E6600's squashed together.

I don't imagine that having a dual-core would really increase your scores to much unless you got the code and compiled it yourself. If you used the executable than its been compiled without multi-core processors taken into consideration. On the other hand the dual-core will help if you have several programs running with it like X, Beryl, etc.
