Pick one for me . 6400 is about AUD $30 more, which one is better performance wise?
Its for a gaming computer, mainly.

Depends what you want to do with it...but....I suppose either way the C2D 6400 is the wiser option...plus its very overclockable too

do u mean a AMD2 Dual core 4600+ and a Dual core intel E6400?

It really depends on your motherboard. Either one or both can turn out to be really difficult to fit..
I need around tree fiddy.
Melbourne - CentreCom, Scorptec, MSY, ComputerWorld. You pick. According to CentreCom's PDF, they are the same price, $305.
There have been cases when they've overclocked the 6300 to near or over 6700 performance. You could save a couple bucks there. Even so the 6400 is faster than the 4600+ a la so.
Another thing to consider is the price of motherboards, C2D is much more traditionally. If someone would like to pick out a board after you specify you want SLI and whatnot.
However, being the avid AMD fan, I would undoubtedly recommend the Core 2 Duo.

You have to learn the rules of the game and then you have to play better than anyone else.
I've got my E6300 clocked to X6800 performance levels (way beyond FX-62 performance). You need a decent motherboard and fan to do so though. I highly recommend the 680i chipset (650i if on a budget) and the Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 7 fan.Cheez wrote:

The 6400 will absolutely destroy the 4600+ in benchmarks. Not to mention the fact that AM2 is a gay CPU interface which is for gays. I'm traditionally a bit of an AMD fanboy, but lately their efforts have been laughable, whilst Intels have been exceptional.
Intel C2D E6400 and AMD X2 5200+ have about the same benchmark results. So, say no to the 4600+
i would say 4600. But thats cause im an AMD fanboy and to my knowledge theres no motherboards (other then REALLY expensive ones) that support SLI + Intel. 4600 ftw.
Definatly the E6400 way more powerful and if you overclock even more so.
But yep if you want to run SLI then you are definatly better off getting the new 680 chipset which are very expencive but to say there are no motherboards is definatly way off the mark if you dont mind running with the intel 965 chipset you can get a good MOBO for like £60.

Or get a 650i SLI chipset! Wait - no, they don't supoort 16x/16x.PFC Eva[75thR] wrote:
