Yeah, Intel`s CPU have more possibilities for OCing.Ok then, can someone confirm that Intels CPU will be faster on 5-7 fps only in most games then AMD`s CPU?

It will be alot faster.C2D is about 20-30% clock to clock faster than the AMD counterpart.That means a C2D at 3 Ghz will be about as fast as an Athlon X2 at 3,6 Ghz. There was a nice comparison on the old forum but I can't seem to find it...so a C2D will give you a big speed boost compared to an AthlonX2 clocked at the same frequency
