Ok, I'm going to buy a custom gaming pc pretty soon, and was wondering this:
Which is a faster, more future-proof processor?
The Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 (2.4Ghz) or the AMD Athlon X2 5600+ Dual Core (2.6Ghz)
Thank you in advance!

I'll take the E6600 over the 5600 any day. The 6000 is a closer match...but she's a hot one ;) The C2Ds offer the best bang for the buck at the moment. (IMO...but you know it's true ;))

the C2d. The X2 still uses the 90nm, while the C2D, a 65nm.

the intel one is better because you'll be able to overclock it to 3ghz easy which will really boost your performance
