Hi Guys,

This is a question that has been asked most probebly millions of times,

Now that AMD X2 and Intel Core2 are both out for a while I would like to know the following...

Which is best? and Why?

I want a machine for mainly video editing and graphics such as photoshop. Also for light gaming...

:confused:

One day I wake up its X2 the other I wake up and I want a Core2.

P.S cant afford both :P
 
WOW thanks for that locutus12,

Very good information. saying that my original plan was to get this:

Intel E6600
Already have the GeIL 2GB PC6400
Will need a motherboard that will run the RAM at 800Mhz as am not an overclocker. Hopefully Asus will get a decent new board
ATI 1600XT or GT
2 SATA2 HDD's

This will come up to about £700

It might look like a gaming machine but the point was I want this machine to hold for about 3 to 4 years before in have to upgrade again...

Old System will be reused... maybe to upgrade older machines of my friends and family or as a server.
