hey its an unfair contest.

1800 Vs Core 2 duo?

CobraR already answered that Q.

these 2 CPUs are from different generations and it is wholly unfair (and stupid) to compare them. The only area in which a 1800 wins is in cost. If you already have a working 1800, you need not spend money on it. If you must buy a core 2, then you must spend money on it. :D

Fried PSU => my 2000+ XP, mobo, mouse and 9600XT are also fied. Damn those light-weight high wattage PSUs!

Yes, a rather stupid question.

gmanych1,

Hopefully you're aware that upgrading to a Core2 will require a complete rebuild...motherboard, CPU, RAM, video card, power supply.

jam,

I bet gmanych1 doesn't trust himself with a screwdriver, let alone attempting a PC build. He sure is looking at a retail computer purchase ;-)
