C2D's are nice. Mine is same speed as my single core (2.4) and it runs a good twice as fast as the single core does at stock speeds.

The really great thing (IMO)about C2D's (E6600 at least) are you can get 300-400 Mhz overclock easily without pushing it. Like nealh said:

E6600 is a great CPU and you have a beautiful case for one.

Mine is E6320. Honestly, I feel even Sempron for US$25 is powerful enough to handle most things I do with computers, but who wouldn't want an 8-core or even 16-core processor if made available?

if yours is obsolete and you need an excuse to work on another one, I'll take it off your hands

after all...it's all old technology anyway now!

naaa i'll keep it awhile. It's just technology moves so fast, it's hard to keep up money wise. I'd like to build a new machine once a yr but i don't have the funds.

So, have you put it to work encoding videos yet? That's probably the most cpu intensive thing that I do with my computer, and I've been thinking/daydreaming about going to a faster system. My old single core A64 is getting a little long in the tooth, not that I have a lot of room to talk about getting old and decrepit.
