I swapped from a AMD64 3700+ @ 2.8GHz, 2GB, etc to a E4300 @ 3.2GHz (currently on Orthos, as 3.0GHz stable 10Hrs Orthos), 2GB, etc and it's faster in benches by a mile, but i'm just not seeing the performance a lot of people seem to suggest.

"It blows away my AM2," sorta thing, yeah okay, in benches certainly.

I'm sure my new system is faster, i'm just wondering how others feel about their C2D system?

I cant recommend these new C2D enough, I was umming and arring for quite sometime if it was worth a +£300 upgrade, I can glady say now that it is.

Thanks to my RAM (Got £180 for a pair of OCZ EB's), my upgrade cost me next to nothing. :D
 
On second thought, I can now Ctrl+Alt+Del out of 2142 to Windows and jump straight back in game. Before, on my my single core i'd get nothing but a black screen.

Hooray for dual core! :D
