Taking a look there the conroe beats out the amd by a slim margin on most of the tests. Though this is the 6400 as they didn't have benchmarks for the 6300. So guessing that amd will beat out the 6300 but probably not with some overclocking on the intel. Though the 6300 is $100 cheaper so go with the intel.

Yea, I got your PM. I think I've decided to sell my computer locally though.

Allright that's cool. I decided to wait for Christmas money.
Were you considering the amd? Not now though?
Havent seen any where the 6300 beats the X2 4800+ stock clock

Ya, but considering the $100 price jump it is not worth it because you can just overclock the 6300.

yea well that link says the 3800+ beats the X6800...
It does in memory! Look in all the test, the 4800 beats the 6300 in all of them!! The 6400 would be a closer, there are more test at the bottom, just not memory test

I don't see the point of overclocking when the gain is only a couple hundred meg at the 2.0G and up range. You put a strain on everything for something you will only see in a bench test.

Yes, I know what he said. I was just saying that even though the amd beats out the 6300 it won't if he overclocks the 6300.

What are you talking about? Why wouldn't you overclock the E6300? You can almost double the speed, in essence getting a $1000 processor for $198.

The E6300's can somtimes OC by almost 100%. That will not only show up in Benchmarks but say when you open MS Word, open up a game, or scratch your head.

at stock speeds the 4800+ is actually better. the e6300 performs around how an athlon 64 X2 would around 2.3ghz... and the 4800+ is at around 2.4ghz.
now, just because i think the e6300 is worse at stock speeds, doesn't necessarily mean i think its a worse processor, in fact i believe the exact opposite. the e6300 is a MUCH better processor... you can overclock these core 2 duo's past 3ghz on stock volts... try doing that with a 90nm athlon 64 x2... chances are its not gonna happen, though people have done it.
personally, id get the e6300 just because its super overclockable, and the 4800+ doesnt give you $100 worth of performance... not to mention the fact that the e6300 could run without a fan on it at all, thats how cool they are... completely silent
lol

the C2D is definitely the better one,price to stock performance ratio is great,oh and you can overclock it like mad.

at stock speeds, the 4800+ is indeed faster.
also, the 4800+ consumes less power, concluding it's either much more power effective, or most likely, it runs a lot cooler.
( funny.. in the idle power consumption, the 2 different cores used for the X2's is quite noticeable )
so in my oppinion, get the AMD. sure,.. the Intell can be overclocked to the same performance as them AMD,. but the AMD can be overclocked too.

When I first got mine I could clock to 2.7 on stock voltage and run stable, thats as far as I went, I,m sure it would go over that if I increased the voltage, ran Idle at 36c. Not much into overclocking anymore after everything hit 2ghz.
