Please suggest which processor would be better-Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 or AMD 64 X2 4800+ ?I have heard much about Core 2 Duos but E4500 is 2.2 GHz whereas 4800+ is 2.5 GHz and also 1k cheaper than the Intel's.Which then will be the better value for money and also last longer?I will be gaming in my machine and want it to support all the latest games and also more to come.


Coming to motherboard I was looking for a cheap motherboard within 3k as I will be buying a new graphics card too in 2-3 months.The dealer told me about Biostar GF7050V-M7 for the Intel processor.In case of AMD,he suggested Asus M2V-MX and Asus M2N-MX SE.Please suggest the better among the two,considering the fact that I will get a graphics card soon.And also I want the motherboard to support at least 4 GB Ram totally.It should also have PCIEx16 slot and IDE to support my IDE hard disk.

Please friends,this is urgent.I know you can help me make the right choice.So please reply.
