Yes, at stock a Conroe CPU will have quite a substantial advantage over a stock AMD CPU, especially in terms of gaming.

not really but AMD are going to reprice their chips when Conroe comes out to compete with it... cheaper AMD chips are also worth waiting for :)

Think about it. With a £1200 budget he can buy an E6600/E6700 and even when running at stock that will destroy the likes of a stock X2 3800+/4400+

You do realise that you've put a socket 479 CPU with a socket 775 Motherboard? ;)

Doh, I was thinking conroe/yonah were the same socket.
As said above change that to a conroe 6600 and it should be a good spec. I would have chosen conroe in the original spec but it wasn't on the site at the time of making and I didn't really know the prices.
