Hi All, I,m looking at upgrading my p.c and at present i have an AMD Athlon XP 2800 CPU ,and want to know which of these 2 is the better choice ,ie faster ,performance etc , as one is a higher Ghz. i,m not a gamer ,so i won,t be overclocking, just interested in feedback ?

Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB)
or
