going from AMD to Intel.

[Mez]

Well after 2 horrible months of AMD, I have decided to go intel. I want to start out small, something that I can adapt to.

Im going to sell my 5000+ and 790GX to my friend who is building his first computer.

Heres what i have in mind:

I recommend going with a dual core at least, Here is one that is running at 2.4 GHZ .1GHZ lower but its a dual core so it will be better in the end.

Naughty monkey, the processor MMenza posted is a duel core, and a better one than the one you posted

yup, the Core 2 Duo E5200 is Intel's new 45nm processor offering,....much better, than the E4XXX series which I as what I've read will be discontinued at the last quarter this year.

yes the E5200 is a great duel core an i have been reading lots of reviews on it an it OCes very well alot of ppl getting 4.2GHz on air an some higher.
the only set back is it only has 2MB cache but thats still alright.

The E5200 is a Pentium Dual core (according to newegg).

The E4600 is Core 2 Duo (newer, and much better architecture)

Rather get the E4600.

Acually the E4600 is older. The E5200 is newer, and uses 45nm technology
