Thanks for the feedback.
I also love AMD ,I've been using them since I've had my first computer and they've been durable , strong CPUS.I've noticed on some reviews that the core2 duos can beat most AMD counterparts , but the only one I can get where I'm from is the E6700 Conroe but it's only at 2.67 GHZ while the AMD6000+ X2 is clocked at 3Ghz .Is the Conroe better than that one too ?
Also one shop had an Intel Core2 Extreme X6800 at 2.94 Ghz but that still is slower than the AMD 6000+ X2 . Is it worth it ? If so, can you suggest some LGA775 mobos? I don't have too much exp with Intel...
