If a new socket comes out, all the current processors will become obsolete with the new generation motherboards. Intel is changing its current technology FSB for another design. Haven't read much about it, so I can't really tell you what to expect.
Granted, the E8400 will probably get you more out of games, at least, for the moment. Although, considering you'll probably be keeping this PC for quite a while, I strongly advise you to go with a quad core processor. Plus, the price range between a E8400 and a Q6600 isn't much, hence worth the extra penny in my opinion.
