Ever since the good old days when AMD were the king of the overclocking scene (AXIA any one?) i have been totally one sided with computing. I have to say though from what i have been reading the new Conroe chips are something to be desired.

So quite simply, will i be impressed if i upgrade from the spec in my sig to this:

Intel Core 2 DUO LGA775 E6600 2.40GHz Retail / Abit AB9 Pro / 2GB GeIL PC2-6400C4 DDR2 Dual Channel Kit - Bundle

Graphics to be upgraded when crysis is released ;)
Cheers
 
Awsome guide on Toms Hardware, cheers guys this has helped me make up my mind. Time for AMD to go the way of old Yella....
 
ok in order for me to purchase this lovely new system i need to start selling my system so a little help pricing it up would be good ;)

Would it be better if i went for the E6300? i only ever use my pc for gaming and web browsing but i am wanting a cpu that will allow me to play alan wake and crysis at a reasonable res/detail setting. I can afford the E6600 but am moving into my new flat in jan and the misses would kill me if i spend more than i need to :p

Cheers
