“The game contains realistic, frenetic and unrelenting violence which is inflicted upon ‘the Infected’ who are living humans infected with a rabies-like virus that causes them to act violently."

These people bravely stand up for the rights of the life impaired. L4D2 encourages life-ist bias and violence against an unrepresented peoples group. It is no wonder these poor oppressed individual collectivists disagree with the survival instincts of different humans. 

What in the world. This is unreal.

Back in the <a href="http://dl.maximumpc.com/Archives/MPC0608-web.pdf">June 2008 issue</a> (page 10-11), MPC did a comparison between the Q9300 and the Q6600. The Q9300 won.

Now, the recommendation for both the Pro Gaming PC buyer (~$2500) and the $800 version use the same Dual Core CPU, the E8400. MPC's baseline system uses the Q9300. The rationale for using the E8400 is that multithreaded applications are still in the future. I agree. There isn't a big price difference between the two, with both at around $115 on eBay. 

Have there been benchmarks comparing the performance difference in most applications between the E8400 and the Q9300?

The new ease of use is great, but Hotmail was reviewed by MPC as one of the worst clients. I use Gmail as often as possible.
