Which processor should I choose if I want to play Vanguard at the best possible specs, should I buy an Intel E6600 Processor? Or a D945.

Here's a comparison of the two processors: Intel® Product Comparison Chart

Vanguard Recommended Specifications:
Windows 2000/XP/Vista
Processor 3.0Ghz Intel or 3500+ AMD processor
2GB RAM
100% DirectX 9.0c compatible computer. 100% DirectX compatible keyboard or input device. Vertex and Pixel shader 2.0 compatible hardware with 256MB of texture memory.
DirectSound compatible audio hardware
Broadband Internet Connection
16X Speed DVD-ROM
20Gigabytes Hard Drive Space

The Core 2 Duo E6300 offers the same performance as the Pentium D 965 Extreme Edition, and is about half the clock speed. Unless you can get that Pentium D for cheap, the Core 2 Duo E6600 is much better.

what graphics card do you have?

get the e6600. i have one, and i must say, its awsome. the solid 4mb cache is fantastic, and, if like me your a tweaker, its easy as pants to overclock. with decent enough cooling, ive seen it as high as 3.7ghz
