At the moment I have been putting together a new computer and I am trying to decide which CPU would be better for gaming. I am choosing between a Intel Pentium Dual-Core E6300 Processor which is 2.8 GHZ or a Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6300 which is 1.86 GHZ. Also, this is a little off-topic, but the graphics card that I am putting into the system says that it is recommended that I should have either Pentium 4, Celeron, or Duo inside the system. If i did not have any of these in there would the video card not work properly?

Of course that Pentium E6300 is better than Core 2 duo one. Is no problem with the video card. The only thing that I'm concern is if your motherboard will support your CPU. Please give us more detail about your system.

------------------------------ Intel i7 920, Gigabyte X58-DS4, 3x1 Corsair DDR3 1333, XFX 260 GTX
, Corsair Force 3 120GB, Samsung 750GB F1, Western Digital 320 GB, Samsung DVD-rw, Corsair TX550M, Coolermaster HAF 932, Logitech Z-5500

buy whichever cpu is more expensive, the more expensive one is better, where i used to work one of my co workers thaught the 3.2 ghz pentium d in his machine was better than the 2.2 ghz core 2 in mine, we ran some benches and what do u no, mine won, clock speed is not the most important factor anymore, or the upcomming phenom ii 965 would kick the bajeeses out of the i7 920
