HardOCP has something recent to say on the issue of Core 2 Duo vs AMD
X2. I think you'll be interested to note that either one is a good choice.

However, if you're looking for the best bang for the buck and can wait a
few weeks the Core 2 Duo E4300 is very cheap and overclocks like a banshee.

I just finished reading a LOT about that motherboard, it is a nice

Should I get Intel Core 2 instead of an AMD X2 CPU?
And if yes, how come?
Thank you very much Jin-Wei Tioh, I really appreciate your replying
and helping me like you have. I am however, surprised that this list
has so little activity lately. Maybe we should ADVERTISE and get a
few more techies in here? )

Hello Ken,
Ignoring price? eVGA 680i - one damned sweet mobo.
