currently the new pentium E,budget processor price is around the price the amd hot processor,amd athlon 3800+ x2.but the overclock performance of new pentium E is far far better than the amd athlon x2 performance..

the question is will the pentium take over amd athlon 3800+ x2 or 3600+ x2 for the dual core budget processor??

Cheap, casual people hardly overclock.

Nuff said. BTW, E2140 (which most of the sucking bundlers are gonna use instead of E2160, and offer upgrades directly to 4/6300) isn't much to be excited about in OCing.
And most people who want to overclock already have a Core CPU.

By the way a LOT of PC builders happened to be "bought" by Intel to spout propaganda and misinformation towards consumers who want to buy AMD based systems. Anecdotal evidence, but this happened 4 years ago when I ordered a Barton system from __ _____. *eyeroll*

Or maybe LGA775 is just easier for the builders? laugh.gif

A friend of mine was swayed towards getting an E4300 for casual usage!
Fairplay, this ain't. Root for the underdog I have to.

@Steven, GMA950 CAN run Aero. It also performs better than most think. It still sucks for gamers though budget-PC people aren't.
