I am gonna OC my C2D another few Ghz. I don't really feel it's necessary yet to upgrade.

Yeah prolly not worth it for peeps with a decent C2D already as it's just a die shrink with slightly more cache. That's unless it can go above 4 or if you don't like to OC.
As for the dual/quad I'd go quad, more people who jump on the bandwagon the better

At stock speeds, the CPU completed the 32MB SuperPI test in 15min 12.828 seconds - while the time improves by around three minutes when clocked at 4.4GHz, scoring 12min 17.86 seconds. Upping the clocks to a max 4702 MHz, the CPU scored 9.860s in the 1MB test. The setup used an Asus P5K3-Deluxe motherboard. |

This is all done on air cooling. So yeah, seems pretty likely that 4ghz(and higher) is very much a realistic goal with the die shrink. Plus on applications that support it(right now only divx converter and some synthetics I believe), the new SSE instruction set alone boosts perf up to 30%, so will add a nice little boost to add to the mix.

Just preorderd me a E8500, 230Euro is to cheap not to really!.
And my mobo can only run the Wolfdale (EVGA 680i) unfortunately. I have to get a new mobo to run the Yorkfield, but I am building a new system later this year so...
