Intel's new dual-core Clarkdale range of CPUs certainly seems to have great performance and if you're looking for an entry-level Intel-based system, one of the Core i3 500 of Core i5 600 range is going to be a good start, especially if you're going to use the CPU's integrated graphics. However, if you don't plan to use the integrated graphics, the 600 range, and in particular the Core i5 661 we reviewed, seem a just a little overpriced. For less money you can get a true quad core chip that will give you better multi-threaded/multi-tasking performance and with a bit of overclocking, better single task performance as well.
