and the core 2 may have been from 2006, but you said any intel dual core doesn't have a high enough clock
for single core games

"Besides as I said stock C2Ds (and especialy C2Qs) have clock speeds which are too low to play old non multicore support games."

lets take all this offtopic to the intel vs amd thread?

good debate btw, i'm enjoying it

Hehe, I am pretty much done.

Besides it's not THAT offtopic...

Once I got my PC I pretty much stopped following processors but whenever I check PC shops around here the best they have is the Q6600...which is 2.4Ghz...I suppose things have changed though since the pentium days where they needed High Ghz, but I would still rather be safe than sorry. The best C2D I had seen was 2.8Ghz. So yeah what I have been saying was filled with ignorance I suppose as I don't know all the processors especially the really new ones which we don't have here yet. However since I got this PC I still have a soft spot for AMDs..(not ATI though)...in the past I have had nothing but hassle and disspointment from Intel and that 6400+ (I came accross an add for it whilst updating my catalyst drivers) still just looks good despite all the strong new C2Ds.

Anyways I don't really have any more to say on the matter...as I said I beyond checking the local PC shop every once in a while I have not really bothered keeping up.
