Where did you get the "Intel 3.0 core 2 duo" thing? I never see it that clearly written. AMD 3400, 5200, 6400 tells me performance like that in megahertz, just like the Duron/Athlon/Athlon XP families, but it seems that they're dropping that way of labelling processors soon.

"Intel Celeron 440", says the online store listing, I have no idea what that means, it's not the speed, it's not the megahertz, nor is it 4.40 Ghz of performance.

"Intel Core 2 Duo E6850", is that like 6.85 Ghz of performance or what? The cores run at 3.0 ghz which doesn't mean anything, because it's all about the internals, I remember AMD K6-2 processors beating P3 processors running at faster speeds. Athlon XP processors running at around 1.8 - 2.2 ghz kept smashing way faster Pentium 4s for a while.


(if building multiboxing, go AMD AM2, unless you get a great deal right from an Intel factory this is the best bang for the buck)
