e6400: 219.00
x2 4200+: 182.00
performance wise: probably so similar you can't even tell them apart.
they're both great.
my system smokes whatever task i put it to.
if your mind is set on amd, get the 4200+ (or 3800) am2. and when (and if) the conroe crusher comes out, you will have the right socket for it.
general, that big chingaso overclock is awesome. i think you lucked out with your cpu. but i don't neccesarily believe all the 6600's can do that, the same as i am sure there are 3800+'s that can bag a 900mhz oc.
it's all in the dice.
