Which CPU AMD or Intel Dual Core

I went with the asrock DUAL-VSTA board and I've found that it's very acceptable and cheap way to upgrade to a conroe CPU. Overall it cost me under £200 for the board and the E6300. Now I can take my time in upgrading to SATA drives, DDR2 ram and a PCI-E gfx card.

hmm i was thinking about going that route with the asrock board, however it doesn't clock very high, and for me by the time i have enough to fully upgrade new stuff will be out. i have learnt from the past bitty upgrades are usually a waste of money, do it all or nothing.
an amd dual core will last you through next year

Your cpu is still a cracker by todays standards. Absolutely not worth your while. if you're thinking about games, than look at uprading your gfx card. it makes a much bigger difference than cpu, and prices should be coming down now with the recent release of a new generation.
