until 2/3 days ago i had never heard of a core 2 duo, id bought a mobo for a shiny new amd x2. Then i came across the new cpu charts and core duo 2 was screaming a head needless to say i have now sold it on and ordered a p965 chipset mobo and an e6400 Id never even contemplated bying an intel, id just persumed amd where in front as always
The 4400 x2 2mbcache was going to cost around ?150
The E6400 is around 5000 x2 performance at only ?160 ish
