Performance and overclockability wise whats the best cpu out on the market for less than $120?

if the AMD dual cores are so much slower than the Core 2's, then definetly don't go with the X2 3600...I'm even kinda dissapointed with my e4300 and that's coming from a s754 Sempron 64 with 128kb L2 cache.

X2 3600+ brisbane is the best bang for buck, but for that price a e4300 is better

It would be enough to run most things on medium, if you want you could get the GTS instead which would run a bit better. But of course you could always end up overclocking either to gain performance
