E6400 VS p4 over 3.2 with HT

These days, clock speed isnt the factor that defines the speed of a CPU. Yes, the P4 is 1Ghz more, but that doesnt mean its faster. Its the way the CPU is designed (CPU architecture) that makes such a big difference. (The L2 cache effects to :D)

In general, the E6400 WOULD STOMP THE HELL OUT OF THAT p4.
 
Well since we are on the subject, my friend is upgrading his computer. He is thinking he wants the ATI 1950, but which one? And a C2D probably E6600. So if you were going to use those what mother board would you get? And of course lets keep this as cheap as possible. thanx

EDIT: also whats good ram? and if we were to plan for the future and get 4gigs?

the Core Two Duo is top of the line right now. It will own virtualy every other CPU on the market in almost every aspect. The E6400 is what you want.
