That is still a killer computer. My FX-60, basically a multiplier unlocked 5200+, has zero issues with whatever you throw at it. Sure the C2Duos may be better, but that is an awesome price for what you get with that AMD bundle. You would be happy with that setup for sure.
Not being funny guys, we know C2D are better than Amd at the moment but you have to think in equivelant terms. An x2 5000 is by far and away better than a 6300 unless you spend 200 quid on a motherboard that can take it to similar performance levels. If you compare it to a 6600 or similar then clearly the C2D will be better but in real terms the X2 is still better in this case.
Plus the higher clocked RAM will be better too.
Hmm i might actually purchase one of these... and get a decent gfx card while i'm at it... then beg mates for some extra money to buy a G7
Talking of which... anyone can reccomend a good PCI-E card which is under £150... yet preferably 512 or a good 256.. and how do i tell a good 256 from a bad 256?
