Are Core 2 Duo's better even without overclocking?

The 6000+ is still a great CPU. Whatever the cost is, I'd get whichever is cheaper, both will perform very well.

Definitely, I'd just reiterate that as I said the e6600 is a monster of an overclocker.. so if you're into that the e6600 would be the better choice. If not they are, either of them, a great choice..

if you are hardcore overclocker, get e6600. I could see that why people want e6600 after I got x6000. Overclocking is addicting so much easier with e6600 that you just want to push your system. X6000 could be overclocked to 4.0ghz (check out http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=146886) but it is tricker than e6600. If you are going to get x6000 and overclock, ask around about the parts other hardcore amd overclockers got because I can't get over 3.3ghz because my ram and bunch of other things are bottlenecking. I was also in your shoes when I got my system 3 weeks ago but I went with x6000. No regrets at all and I love my system.
