Hello... Title question says it all.

I want it to be for gaming and preferably dual core so FRAPS is not laggy.
 
It depends on what series of models you are looking at. If you are looking at the older Socket A for AMD and Celeron and P4s for Intel AMD had the leading edge. At the present time with the much newer Core 2 Duo and Extreme the gaming magazines and online artcles favor Intel. At this time anything past a Socket 939 or P4 model cpu is a dual core if not a new quad core model. The single core models are going by way of the dinosaurs soon enough.
 
im an AMD man but to be fair INTEL with there new core 2 duo are dogs bollocks specially in multi tasking and also very good for gaming i would prob when my pc's out of date get the quad core 2
 
Depends which AMD and Intel processor you're comparing. If it's to the Core 2 Duo's, then Intel is the winner, but if it's to the Pentium 4's, then AMD is the winner.
 
So u would buy a Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.86GHz retail over a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.00GHz OEM for roughly the same price?

Obviously the AMD would win at stock speeds in that scenario, but the E6320 costs $165, while the X2 6000+ costs $223.

Yeah, in my post I put OEM AMD and retail C2D which there is a 5 quid difference in the UK.. Im guessing the OEM don`t come with a heatsink which is a downfall but I would be guessing a CPU with out OC`in it the AMD one would be the better option? (Im not sayin thats right, Its just what im guessing).
