Hi guys,
1. I dont know whether to go for an AMD ATHLON 64 4800+ or an
Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, help me here
2. How much does the former and latter cost?
3. I'll be using this CPU only, only, only for Real time strategy games,
mostly rise of nations and rise of legends, no FPS or RPS or Racing games
bcos i have a Playstation 2.
4. So which CPU should I go for?
5. Which performs better only for Real time strategy games?
6. C?an you give me the benchmarks please?

Go for C2D E6300/E6400.
E6300 = 8.5k
E6400 = 11.5k (not sure)

Go for Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
INTEL Core 2 Duo E6400 = Rs.11700/- in Lamington Road, Mumbai.
AMD ATHLON 64 4800+ = Rs.13000/- in Lamington Road, Mumbai.

Get a good Gcard with at least 256 DDR3 nd huge RAM of bout 2GB. It ll help u more that gettin a high end CPU. A C2D 1.83(E6300) would be fine.

C2D E6400 (2MB L2 cache 2.13Ghz 1066MHz FSB 65nm) Rs10400
