The C2D series is much better than pretty much every P4 there is even tho the clock speeds may be lower.

try the charts at www.tomshardware.co.uk for CPU's then you can see a range of benchmarks for any 2 given CPU's

Well thats mainly because the C2D is a dual-core, whereas the P4 is not. You should have compared the PD if you wanted a fairer comparison, although thats not what he asked so..
But anyways, the Core 2 Duo is A LOT better.

Depends on the benchmark, but even when comparing the 1.86Ghz C2D to a 3.0Ghz PD, the Core 2 Duo would be the best processor overall, especially in games.

If your board supports it, then go for it.

I was just about to start almost the same exact thread so might as well ask here..
My P4 3.2Ghz HT box has bit the dust and Im looking at a E6320 box for running basically the adobe and macromedia suites, what will the performance difference be.
Also the E6300 and E6320 are the same price since the E6320 has twice the L2 cache it seems like the no brainer but am I missing something that the E6300 has?

Go with the E6850 or E6750, I have the E6850 and my CPUMark Score is 11259.4

Well the reason its E3600 vs E3620 is because I dont have the time to do a build so Im just getting either a HP or Dell workstation to hold me over since trying to do graphic design jobs on a 1.6Ghz semperon isnt cutting it

And that's where you're going wrong, lol. Don't get a Dell or an HP, go with something that uses genuine parts....

Im looking through that site and see tons of gamer type cards ect but I need a video card along the lines of a Fire GL or Quadro, plus having the customer support of dell/hp is a big plus (they've come to my place and fixed/replaced parts that day) Im also looking at the dell outlet right now so it might turn out to be a Xeon 5120 1.86GHz 
which brings another question....
performance of the C2d 1.86 VS the Xeon
This isn't a gamer box at all, I use a OLD one to run all my nintendo/genesis games for that

Someone talking about running a game here, well just want to add.
How much the performance impact would a processor do, for example i use PD 945.
So far as i know its only the matter of speed right? The other depend on ram, vga, and hdd.
Since i can play supreme commander, stalker, dirt, or company of heroes without problem aside of graphic and memory requirement.
