which is best setup?

Which would give best preformance in general use (lots of photoshop, slight gaming, dvd ripping, almost as much flash as photoshop, ect)


939 3800 single core 2.4 ghz, 1 gb ddr 7600gt

or core 2 duo 6300 dual core 1.8 ghz, 2 gb ddr2 7600gt

im cant tell. while the c2d is dual core, its clock is only on par with say a 2.2 ghz amd if i am correct. however its memory would be quicker than the 939 getup. so basically is the dual core plus 2 gb of ddr2 gonna make this better or would the slower clock speed make it on par or just below the 939 rig?

E6300 >> X2 3800+. It's more or less equal to a X2 4400+, sometimes a tiny bit better.

Just by virtue of more RAM, the C2D system is going to be better.

EDIT: Oh, the SC 3800.
For multitasking and general use, you'll notice a big boost in responsiveness with dualcore. For single threaded stuff, the 3800 will be faster (2.4 = one core of X2 4600+). Even then, the C2D E6300 is hot on its heels.

not x2 3800, single core 3800. for 939 also.
