Yeah, I was aware of that, I was just wondering about the best minimal bottle-necking for the price.
I'm guessing that the e6600 would be the better choice, which would mean that I would have to choose a Intel based chipset.
The 5200+ clocked freq of 2.6ghz compared to the 2.4ghz of the e6600, what gives the distinct advantage that the e6600 has over the 5200+. Memory switches, pipelines?
