I'd get the blu rays personally, you won't notice a massive enough performance boost.

Just a sort of follow up.

A mate's given me an intel E5300 (Pentium Dual-Core) he had spare.

So far I've got it at various clock speeds but around 3.5ghz seems stable.

My other processor, the E4400 C2D I had stable at 3.2ghz.

It's hard to find any direct comparisons but it looks like there's not really much in it for every day usage but I wondering what would give me the edge in games as I'll use the other for a nas/media server I'm building.

The only real bonus I can see is that the E5300 has hardware virtualisation which should let me run the XP VM that comes with Win7 Ultimate (if I get it).

I just wondered if anyone else had some facts/opinions on which is best?
