im thinking of getting a DS3 / DS3p board with 6400c4 ram and want to know if having a core2 2.0ghz e4400 is worth it over a p4 3.0ghz prescott? (both are 800mhz fsb) - i also want to know if having 2 cores is really worth it as the benifit of both cores is dependant on whether a program supports it (id rather have a system that can run individual programs like games at the fastest possible speed than running lots of programs at a good speed.)

also is there any point of having a 1033fsb cpu (e6320 etc.) with 800mhz ram?
 
but itsnt the optimum performance of the dual core reliant on software that supports it?
 
ok lol, ill hang my head in shame for suggesting the prescott in the first place... :p

i thought because its the same socket as the core2 and also its 3ghz it might be on a par. o well thanks for letting me aviod a bad mistake.
