lol....this forum is mostly for gaming ethusiasts. I don't know if we can come up with an exicutive prestation on how good the conroes are. But i will give you an over view so you can get an idea:
P4<althon<operton(except the dual cores)<x2 althon<FX series<core 2 dou
They are much better at gaming and multitasking.
Ok, heres a build for ya:
CM centurion $45
Lite-On dvd burner $32
WD 250gb sataII $80
g.skill 2x1gb ddr2 800 $220
2 x samsung 19" LCD $480
asus p5b-deluxe/wifi $197
TT PurePower 600w $105
core 2 dou e6300 $181
evga 7600gt $140
Total: $1534 (w/ shipping) ; $1514 after mail-in-rebate
Thats the best i can do with 2 19in lcd monitors. If you decide not to include the lcd monitors, then you can upgrade the processor to a core 2 dou e6600 $309 and the graphics card to a evga 8800gts $440.
Total: $1455 ; $1435 after mail-in-rebate
edit: sry meant to post this: ps CS2 benchmarks . The e6300 isn't on the chart but it would fall behind the e6400. But if you can do without the monitors, then you will see some improvment with the e6600.
