Jadariin said:It seems that conroe is quite good but it isnt released yet. And the prices are way too steep for me ($500+ for the 2.6 ghz vesion) so I guess the lower priced AMDs will do. I'm just aiming to run my Guild Wars on high settings at 1024x768 and at least run doom 3 at medium settings without lagging. I'm not looking for the latest but thanks for the info though
Take a look at the review here: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core2duo-e6300.html
It's 1.86Ghz. Going to cost about $180. From other benchmarks, this processor can beat even the AMD A64 X2 4600+. This is on stock settings too, not overclocked.
