If you do overclock later, than the e6600 will definitely beat the X2 6000+.

Think ill wait for the Intel price cuts(although ive noticed prices for the E6600 have come down a touch already?) and then go for the E6600.

I hope i wont regret leaping from AMD to Intel...........

I just thought what would happen about my windows xp install as i bought my pc years back with xp preinstalled which means i dont have a cd? ive got a feeling im going to need a disc because a new mobo= new pc as far as Microsoft is concerned? (or so ive heard)

Yes, you need a new XP cd, when installing major components, especially the motherboard.

so i need to shell out for an xp disc aswell! dam maybe i can find an OEM version on Ebuyer or something

 

[b1gapl]

Yea, you don't need the retail version. The only difference between the OEM and retail, is the pretty box and manual.

 

[jonny_uk]

yeah i know, and Ebuyer has the OEM cd for £55, not bad.

Anyway i think ive came to a conclusion which is what i posted here for, thanks for your help mate
