Okay, I am choosing between these four CPUs:
1. AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Black Edition Windsor Core (with Rosewill Z1 Cooler)
2. Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @2.66Ghz LGA 775 (with Rosewill Z1 Cooler)
3. AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Brisbane Core (with ThermalTake Blue Orb Cooler)
4. AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition (with ThermalTake Blue Orb Cooler)
I am a AMD guy, so I really would like to stick with an AMD CPU. It is hard to CPU shop without the constant yellings about C2D procs though, so I included the E6750 in my decision. I dont like the way C2D "feel" though. Some of my friends have them and It may score good in benchmarks... but In general purpose work it seems to... lag. It really may just be my bias though. So, I will be more than happy to listen to anything anyone has to say.
The whole cooler thing is basically I have a budget and I have a Rosewill Z1 Cooler on me already. So, I can either go cheaper proc and better cooler for better Overclocking, or Standard cooling and better proc.
All suggestions and advice are welcome! Thank you!
