c2d vs amd 939 at stock.

hi there, is there much difference between the c2d and amd x 2 939 processors at stock settings? same kinda money?

the reason i ask is i'm considering buying a sn25p shuttle becuase i can get it for £140 quid, and it'll still handle a decent gfx card.

if i went c2d then it would cost me £300.

i realize the c2d is the better processor because it can clock well, but in a shuttle it's not that easy to clock them? what do you think guys?

also what would you say my shuttle is worth?

if i went sn25p i would be able to keep everything but the cpu and gfx card wouldn't i?

looking for the cheapest upgrade that i will see a sig difference, and that i can use the forthcoming gfx cards with.

cheers guys

what about price point though?

the cpus seem to be cheap on both sides ...?

should i move it to the cpu side?

email me supercow and we'll talk

on the other point, no another amd wont fit in mine, was thinking of picking up an old sn25p off the bay and then putting a x2 in it .... also just upgrading the shuttle, chip and ram.

not too sure about the sugo route although i understand they are good for upgrading .... which would be nice, however they aren't that much cheaper than a second hand sn25p are they?

spec me a new one with the bits you think and i'll have a look

anyone care to value my current kit for me?

thanks guys

i can probably get a sg37p2 fr the same money as that, hmmm , not sure about the sugo, is it a lot bigger?

my cheapest route is deffo the upgrade to sn25p route, but hmmm , still not sure, convince me people
