Which processor to is better

Buying a new pc which one should i go for, the new intel core 2 duo or amd

Depends on ur budget !!!

but as right now, C2D's are better than X2

well my budget is arnd 25000 just for the cpu

well my budget is arnd 25000 just for the cpu

CPU ?? Means just the Procy ?? or the entier box ?? (Procy + Mobo + RAM + HDD + GRFX + Optical Drive + Cabby)

Please post more specific !!

oh sorry i meant the entire box

Get a c2d...
but wait till the july 22 price cuts...
hopefully u lkl be able to get a q6600..

C2D E6420 @ 8000 + TAX
ASUS P5B-V/VM @ 7000 + TAX
2GB DDR-II 667MHz @ 3800 + TAX
160 GB SATA-II @ 2050 + TAX
DVD RW @ 1500 + TAX
Cabby + ColorSit 450 SMPS @ 2000 + TAX

4 % TAX = 974
Total = 25324

Now, if you go with AMD you get a good breathing space...

AMD X2 4200 @ 4800 + TAX
ASUS M2A-VM (AMD 690G Chipset with ATI x1250 GRFX) @ 4000
2GB DDR-II 667MHz @ 3800
160 GB SATA-II @ 2050
DVD RW @ 1500
Cabby + ColorSit 450 SMPS @ 2000

TAX = 726
Total = 18876

See in case of AMD i would suggest go with a Nvidia 6150 chipset or AMD 690V based board which may come under 3k + TAX, so in that case u are left with 7k money, which may be used to buy one XFX 8600 GT 256MB available at Rs. 7k + TAX

Note all prices are Kolkata Street Price

so may be few bucks here at there at ur localtion

PS. the thread should have been at Hardware section...

whats the difference between the two ie cre2duo n cre2quad

Core 2 Duo is a Dual Core where as Core 2 Quad's are Quad Core processor

A

Intel C2D E6600 - 10000
Intel G965RY - 3800
2GB Transcend 667MHz DDR2 - 3800
250GB Seagate 7200.1 SATA - 2800
Samsung/Lite On DVDRW - 1500
Mercury PSU+Cabinet - 1500
Total = 23400

go for it...the nVidia 650 ultra..gud overclcking options in it...provided u can adjust it in ur budget.

Well, Choto Cheeta sugeested sum gud options...
u can go for Intel C2D E6420, it'll save sum useful bucks. n gor a video card which Chotocheetah suggested.

i think this Q should be in Fight Club with title INTEL v/s AMD

cos this thread will generate lot of heat

only if you can increase the budget up to 30k

as if u take out the P5B-V / VM and put XFX 650i or Asus P5N-E SLi, that would ony save MAX Rs. 2000, u would still need another 4.5 or 5k to fit in one XFX 8600 GT !!! as note, 650i boards wont have any On board video options...

and while if u think for Intel 975 boards, the board will cost over Rs. 9k !!! and not a best buy when 650i boards are there !!!

how much would intel core 2 quad cost over an intel core 2 duo
