I'm doing some homework before I build my next gaming PC. I'm "on-the-fence" as to whether it's going to be AMD or INTEL based. Please let me know your thoughts on the best CPU for under $300. And I don't just mean what's the fastest clock-speed that $300 can buy. If some 1.5 GHz, $125 part overclocks to 3 Ghz or something better, please let me know. Thanks!!!

Get the E6600. On an Asus mobo, it overclocks like hell.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 or E6600 are the best for that price range.

I recomend AMD Athlon 64 bit. To get the best preformance, you need the x64 edition of xp or vista. Most every program works. You can download a trial of x64 xp on microsoft's site.
You need x64 drivers
