Dual core AMD vs Intel

[syphon]

OK,

Another question from a complete noob.
Which one:

- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ 2.2GHz Socket AM2 1MB

- Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz Socket LGA775, 2MB

?

 

[Nitestick]

the e6400 will outperform the X2 4200+

Thanks!

the e6400 will outperform the X2 4200+

but the X2 4200+ is clocked higher!!!!!!!!

 

[maroon1]

As i know E6400 can outperform all AMD Athlon 64 X2

I got my E6400 running at 3.2ghz on air right now

was going to push it up to 3.6ghz but I'm not sure its worth it.

What will the X2 4200+ overclock to on air?

 

[Nitestick]

2.8ghz perhaps, that is an average. some would fall well short and others may go as far as ~2.85-2.9ghz.

If I had to do it over again I'd just buy the E6300

seems to overclock really well and it is cheap.
