Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 why...
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor-based desktop PC was designed from the ground up for energy efficiency, letting you enjoy higher performing, ultra-quiet, sleek, and low power desktop PC designs.
Do more at the same time, like playing your favorite music, running virus scan in the background, and all while you edit video or pictures. The powerful Intel Core 2 Duo desktop processor PCs provides you with the speed you need to perform any and all tasks imaginable.
Specifically, the FSB is double the P4. the L2 Cache is 7.81 times faster than the P4.

The core 2 Duo is the best. It even does more work per clock than any AMD processor, so ignore the comment about AMD. FYI I am personally still getting an AMD though because they are more friendly with linux. They help out with the gcc. EDIT -The link above with the c-net article puts AMD against a Pentium D witch AMD is better than, but the Core 2 Duo is alot better than a Pentium D and is faster than AMD.

kanis is flat out wrong, I mean literally he just saying somthing that is completely false. Anyway the Core 2 Duo would be better, newer architecture, higher front side bus, and dual core.

The new AMD dual-core range is honestly better than either - sorry, never been a particular fan of Intel
