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: IntelĀ® 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.

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
