Core 2 Duo e8400 e8500 e8600 are the best core 2 duo's.In gaming they can be better then i5 and i7.

Anh what line of Corer 2 quad are good for gaming???

[jmaster18]

Every core 2 quad is good for gaming but most dont worth the money.Most games need frequency speed and not many cores thats why core 2 duo's are great for gaming.For example:Core 2 Duo e8400 vs core 2 quad q6600.

Core 2 quad: 4 cores 2.4ghz FSB 1066 65nm technology L2 Cahce:8MB
Core 2 Duo:2 cores 3.0Ghz Fsb:1333 45 nm technology L2Cache:6MB


The quad core CPU is a 65nm one where core 2 duo is a 45nm CPU whch means core 2 duo is better at that factor.

Core 2 duo has got 2 cores but core 2 quad has 4 cores,that means core 2 quad is better for multi-tasking(running a lot of applications at the same time) but core 2 duo is more efficient when running a certain application than core 2 quad because of its high speed.Although some new games take advantage of the 4 cores, most games do not.An other advantage of core 2 duo is its cheap price and its great ability for overclocking,as it can reach 4.2Ghz.

BUT! if you find a CPU with the same frequency as core 2 duo but with 4 cores then it is better.Thats why I recommended this quad-->http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115130

Final conclusion is that if you want to buy a core 2 quad you need to pay a lot of money but if you want to spend about 150-180$ then go for intel core 2 duo beacuse quads at that price are not better.

Something troubling is that intel stopped the production of core 2 duos and core 2 quads so it might be difficult to find them

Then,if i want to buy a core 2 quad and core 2 dual best for gaming like:Tom Clancy's,MW2,MW3,what line show I buy,between 1 million VNĐ to 3 million VND,what core 2 dual and what core 2 quad I show buy

[jmaster18]

What is VND?Some kind of currency?

[khoiho]

yes,It's Vietnam Dong,i'm come from Vietnam,and I need to know what is the best Core 2 dou best for gaming and what core 2 quad best for gaming to persuade my mother to upgrade my CPU ^^

For Intel Core 2 Duo I recommend this-->http://ark.intel.com/products/35605/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E8600-%286M-Cache-3_33-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB%29

For Intel Core 2 Quad I recommend this-->http://ark.intel.com/products/35428/Intel-Core2-Quad-Processor-Q9650-%2812M-Cache-3_00-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB%29

Core 2 Quad is an expensive choice and core 2 duo a cheap choice.You decide depending your countries prices.
