    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
