core duo procs are best for actual games (e8500)..
but next generation games are optimized for quads...
ex: supreme commander, Alan Wake and Lost Planet, all games that support unreal engine 3.0.... maybe crysis with the next episode.

Use dual core if you need PC for games etc. Motherboard with chipset P35/X38/X48, nForce isn't best choose for Intel platform. Also Radeon HD 4850 looks now much better than nVidia offer in this price. I'd also choose another RAM if you gonna overclock, like G.Skill PQ or Mushkin Redline.

Catch me at MSN if you want talk about details or sth, I always offer help Winking

Quad is nonsense now a days,dual core is enough but deffinetly not intel Smug AMD x2 beats the crap out of intel in the price/performance ratio,not to mention intel lacks HTT in dual core cpu's which makes it jerky in games.And stick to berts suggestion,if u want a lightning fast pc consider 4870X2 (at least one) and a raid-0 array or something better,SRAM or solid state drive (SSD) if u really got cash to spend.4870 X2 owns in crysis too ,>

O lol, say it was irony. Show me test where AMD dual cores owns Intel. It's possible only in the lowest price range, (and we see that Riku is looking for something more expensive) and definitely not after o/c, cuz as everyone know AMD suck ass in this case and every overclocked intel dual core own any AMD in everyway.

an 174 euro amd cpu beats a 750 euro intel

http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3344&p=14
2 screens below, amd on par with intel same pricerange.

i got a link somewhere, where amd is beating intel in games.

alot of stuff is intel optimized.
there are benchmarks that are so fucked up, that if you fake the amd cpu for an intel cpu, the amd cpu suddenly can do 10% better in that benchmark.

2 weeks a new set of mobo's have been released, they make it possible for most 9950 phenoms to run 3200mhz. some 3ghz just with stock voltage.
