Core 2 Duo vs Dual Core

    I have to buy a new desktop. I have narrowed down 2 processors, can anyone tell me which one is better:

    Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 2 MB L2 1.86 GHz 1066 MHz

    Or

    Intel Dual Core 2 MB L2 3 GHz 800 MHz


    Both of them costs same.

    C2D has higher FSB and has the latest and better architecture, while Dual Core has higher clock speed.

    I have heard C2Ds overclock really well.

    Please suggest, I am really confused.

    PS. Don't suggest E6400 or E6600 or E6700 or X6800, they are out of my budget.

    core 2 duo is better, it has new tecnology and the FSB makes all the diference. the MHZ today dont really mean more performance (for different processor types)

    Intel Core 2 Duo uses new and more advanced technology. This is a new a whole new ballgame.

    Someone said "Looks does matter" ;)

    Besides, we saw the pics for his earlier machine as well. So we expect to see pics for this desktop as well :)
