very cool for the CPU, overclock to 3Ghz perfectly with a 0.3v+ more in the Vcore however everything fine you will pwn in games :P
Chose the socekt 775 config 2 (with the E6600)
and have a great potancial of OC up to 3GHz like i said.. and pick it cause the it has 4MB of cache compared to the E6400

good frag ingame

Definitely go intel. And consider getting one of the new 1333 fsb chips and a motherboard that can handle it. See here: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/intel/showdoc.aspx?i=3038
