Well i'm some what caught up and it seems like conroe is all the rage, and amd is doomed. I was hoping to get some more oppinions. It looks like all things acounted for i would be left about $200 in my budget for a cpu i could squeeze out another $100 if need be. I'm interested in best bang for buck ratio. I have some OCing experiece with vid card but none with cpus. I will most likely use stock cooling or better but cheaper after market. If i do over clock i'm not looking to max it out. I'd just like to squeeze out a little more juice. (I had my heart set on amd before all this conroe stuff and ddr or drr2 makes no difference to me but feel free to suggest there aswell.)
So...
Given the above stipulations. What is my best bet for cpu? and what socket? Please support your suggestions.
Thank you for your time and i look forward to your responses.
