Its a beta, but this is the best mode, 2 processors in direct comparison.

Perhaps we could get a sticky going on the best sites to find _good_ comparison charts for gpu's, cpu's, harddisks, etc.

I have never been so sure about Toms hardware charts, they always seemed a little bit weighted towards nVidia and Intel, however maybe they've changed recently

With all things in life never take one opinion on its own as gospel.

And another one www.cpubenchmark.net I always start there before checking any of the others as its an easy to remember URL, next stop would be a full review of the CPU.

A chart of the good clockers vs price would be handy
