At stock speeds, they're comparable. However, the Core2Duo can *easily* overclock beyond 3.0GHz, and the X2's don't have at all as much OC headroom. Run a compare of the X2 6000+ against the E6850 - that's the equivalent CPU the E6650 becomes at 3.0GHz.
Thx man. I'm sorry for spoling the thread but I figure I might as well ask.

Is it easy to clock? I'm guessing it's done in bios. Can I use the original cpu fan?
I'm gonna buy a motherboard with 4xram slots. And I'm gonna buy 4x1024mb ram(all the same manufacturer). Does this work without problem?
