Im helping a friend with a build and I cant decide what cpu to get...i want either an AMD athlon 64 X2 5600+ or 6000+ or an intel C2D e6420
If he had the money for the e6600 i probably wouldnt be here because thats an easy decision...but yeah the 6600 is way out of price range which is why i kinda wanted to know if the 6420 is better than either the 5600 or the 6000 amd's......um and i think that the 6000 amd is out of the picture because from all that i hear its kinda like the intel thing where the 5600 is the base model (like intels e6600) and the 6000 is just an oc'd version (like intels e6700), so might as well just buy the 5600 and oc it... so try and answer these questions for me if you can!
Which is better out of each of these:
1) AMD's 5600 or 6000 (i have kinda decided on this, and i think the 5600 is better)
2) an intel 6420 oc'd to 6600 standards or a stock 6600 which would not be oc'd
3) An AMD 5600 stock clock or an intel 6420 stock clock
4) An AMD 5600 clocked to the 6000 standard (from 2.8ghz to 3.0ghz) or an intel 6420 clocked up to the 6600 standard (from 2.13ghz to 2.4ghz)
if you can answer all these without amd or intel favortism, just true stats/info...i will probably jump up and down...THEN TRACE YOUR IP SO I CAN GIVE YOU A BIG HUGE HIGH FIVE IN PERSON!!! lol....jk but seriously...if someone can answer those 4 questions i would be absolutely delighted....
