Which Processor?

[wingeddragon]

Hello all.

I am currently thinking about building a new pc and was wondering what is the best processor to go with between these two? Ive not read anything bad about either one of them and i was wondering if any of you had any experience with one or both of these.

Thanks for any help.

Get the Q6600 and pair it with a board capable of overclocking it.

So do you believe the Intel is better for gaming?

The AMD's are better in the $100 and under pricepoint, but the Intels are better performers higher up. Generally.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks

any other opinions?

Get a dual core e8400. You can push it to 3.6ghz with no voltage mods, which means no temp change. 4 ghz with a good heatsink.

im going to stick with one of the above, i was just wondering which one of the two i should get, thanks anyway for your input though.

Second this opinion, the processor will deliver a higher performance, plus better potential for possible expansion in the future (if you do decide to overclock it)
