we should get a whole thread just about comparing these two processors... a 3.6ghz athlon x2 is pretty rare, we should have you guys run a bunch of benchmarks to see what advantages and disadvantages there are..
im thinking sisoftware cpu arithmetic and multimedia benchmarks... pcmark05, 3dmark06, 3dmark05, and finally SuperPi... that should cover it.
say... default settings, and then both of them at 3ghz, and w/e else you want to do?
haha you're probably not willing to do all of that... but if you do make sure you both use the same versions of sisoftware sandra, and you both use the same version of superpi.
