| 577715 | 2007-08-07 07:56:00 | I'm probably building a new system in Brisbane at the end of the year and I'm curious.. what is the best dual core processor for a few hundred? I hear Intel is the best at the moment... |

| 577716 | 2007-08-07 07:59:00 | The cheapest is AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+, for less than $80. For now the best value for a dual core CPU is Intel's C2D E6750 at less than $300 IMO. |

There is hardly any software out there that can utilize the use of quad cores, even dual-cores barely have any software actually making the most of the extra cpu power. Here (www.nzoczone.com) is a 3.0Ghz Dual Core AMD Athlon selling for $220.31 I sure wouldn't be complaining - and infact looking at upgrading to it lol! |

By the time the end of the year comes round the prices would have changed quite a few times. |
