Ehhhhhh. If I were you I'd go C2Q Q6600 and OC it to around 3.0Ghz for the same price as that C2D. I'd also recommend spending the little bit more and getting a Razer gaming mouse. Get a good motherboard for OCing if you go the Q6600 route. I'm not sure which they were, but I tihnk it was the P5 motherboards that OC well. I'm probably FAR off. It was some Intel mobo though.
