Basically I need a minimum of a 2.8 Ghz processer, cos my board is old, it's basically a new board and CPU I need.

As I'm too lazy/dumb to know what will work best with each other, i'm was going to get a pre built bundle package.

I've found 2 on cclonline.

Ones got a Core 2 Duo E4500 / 2x2.20GHz

The other AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (2x3.0 Ghz)

Now I've only ever used AMD's before and I assumed as they are both dual core and the AMD one would be the better choice, but a mate is telling me that the intel one used newer technology, so even though it's a lower Ghz, it's will work better than the AMD

umm, yeah.

Help?

There's no difference in the price, I just want to get the better performing chip.
