» Use a current priced C2D rig! e4500: $130
2 x 1GB Kingston or Corsair DDR2-667: $50
Abit IP35-E: $90
8800GT @ $250
Total: $520
Or even cheaper, substitute in an e2180 and your total drops to $480.
Even at stock either of these would rip the 4000+ system a new one in everything (not just gaming) and would also be much closer to the e6850 performance in games. Can't understand why you guys would include the old e4300 (EOL) in this comparison. Maybe that's all you had available?
