I always wanted to assembly computer for myself. So about 3 weeks ago I start researching on computer parts. Newegg is very resourfsul website. After debating I decided to go with DUAL CORE (QUAD CORE for the same price has lower speed, less cache and most of the application don't run on more than one core). So I chosed Inter Core 2 DUO E7200 (Wolfdale) (here is good article that compate Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 (Wolfdale) and Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 (Yorkfield)
