AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (3.0GHz) OR Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz

I was just wandering which one would give better performance for gaming?

I would think the AMD because of its faster clock speed but i may be wrong.

Clock speeds don't mean much when comparing AMD and Intel.
In this case, the Intel core 2 quad is the superior performer. By a long shot.

although the higher clock speed of the 6000 will help when it comes to non muti core tasks i still think the Q6600 will be the better processor to have, besides the Q6600 can easily get to the 6000 speed without mcuh temp difference

The Q6600 Is your best bet here my friend

the 6000+ is a pretty nice proc. but if u have the chance to get a Quad go for it.

Q6600. First off, the 600+ is dual, and the Q6600 is quad. Sure, AMD has a better performance over price, but in fact, that CPU will smoke it out instant.

The 6000+ X2 is still a very nice cpu but the q6600 is even better.

q6600 def. i oced mine to 3.0ghz, on stock air.

Q6600, awesome cpu and like ssc456 said... it will run at 3.0GHz

I have mine at 3.3 ATM, some people get as high as 3.6, but there is also a black edition of the 6000+ X2
