I doubt there will be any games in the near future that will use all of a quad processor... but no one knows if there will be upgrades....

There's a LOT of talk of the 4870s being available for the M17 in the next few months.

There is also another Quad coming out in the near future.

The QX9300 already OCs to ~3.33Ghz. That's plenty IMO.

These processor choices are currently listed on the AW site for the M17
Intel® Core™2 P8400 2.26GHz (3MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB)
Intel® Core™2 P8600 2.4GHz (3MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB) [+$100 or $3/mo.]
Intel® Core™2 T9400 2.53GHz (6MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB) [+$250 or $8/mo.]
Intel® Core™2 T9600 2.8GHz (6MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB) [+$500 or $15/mo.]
Intel® Core™2 Extreme X9100 3.06GHz (6MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB) [+$850 or $26/mo.]
Intel® Core™2 Quad Q9100 2.26GHz (12MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB) [+$850 or $26/mo.]
Intel® Core™ Extreme Quad QX9300 2.53GHz (12MB Cache, 1066MHz FSB)

Is the 4870 dramatically different form the 9300 other than performance/design ?

The 4870 is the "possible" GPU upgrade that might be coming, not the CPU.
