[butc8]

My dad gave me a choice between a c2d e4500 and athlon 64 x2 5600.My dads buying so price isnt a problem,and im too lazy to go compare them myself.....so what advice can any one give

I advise you to research yourself seeing as you're being handed a PC.

Admitting your lazy is never really a good way of getting advice on the forum.

If it was me i would go for the C2D

 

[Praeses]

C2D is cooler and possibly faster. It can definitely over-clock more if you were into that...

 

[phiber]

C2D, and this comes from an AMD fan !

 

[The_Techie]

Core2Duo gets my vote as well

He probably won't overclock, he's to lazy

 

[Brawler]
