I have to stay within £150 on the processor (I will upgrade at the beginning of '07 (after christmas)) I am getting a motherboard compatiable for use with the Conroe chip already so:
Which Intel chip do I get (or AMD if it is better and in same price range.)

A) Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "Allendale" 1.86GHz

OR

B) Intel Pentium 4 945 Dual Core "Presler" 3.4GHz

?????

As usual thanks ever so much for the help!

Is one quicker?

AMD chips will fall in price before they counter this Intel duel core chip(but when?)

And thats the rub,AMD have always offered more bang for your buck,untill now,they just cant make a loud enough bang
Just as I was about to rebuild my PC Intel show us the way to go(for now)

My PC is well over due a major refit,do I wait for AMD to play catch up?

Umm...

I cant see that happening some how
