Hmmm ... ur not a gamer , u don't wanna oc , and u don't run cpu demanding apps ... then why Intel dude ??? Ur perfect for AMD ... particularly for the Athlon64 X2 4000+ ... runs at 2.1 GHz , has a low TDP ... and runs a hell lot cooler than any C2D on stock cooling :D ..

Have to agree with death on this one.AMD processors & motherboard are best & cheapest combos at the moment.Provide best value for money I would say.Even if you are not too much into gaming then too most of their onboard video controllers are consisting of 6150 chipsets & the newly introduced 690G line up which has good video back up from ATI's stable as well.So if you feel like gaming anytime then this would be a better deal.

dood if budget is not a problem then the C2D E6600 is a good choice at 14k nehru place price.......else if ur ona splurging spree then go fro the E6700...its really kewl an im also using it......else the E6400 will suffice :D

Well for non overclockers, AMD is best value for money coupled with any 690 chipset based motherboard.

as per Over clocking goes, E4300 and the E6420 are the best, and with 4MB L2 and 1066MHz FSB, and a price of Rs. 8k i would say E6420 is the procy for u :p
