Which of these cpu should i get?
AMD Athlon™64 X2 5600+ Dual-Core CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology
(Sckt775)Intel® Core™ 2 Duo E6850 CPU @ 3.00GHz 1333FSB 4MB L2 Cache 64-bit
(Quad-Core)Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz 1066FSB 8MB L2 Cache 64-bit
The AMD is a little bit cheaper, the both intel are the same price.
Edit : Also, should i pay 89$ for XP or i just order it with a formated hd and i install a non-guinine version of XP found on a warez site(Does these version can be harmfull to my pc?)

And if I have no idea how to overclock it? Or maybe It's just that I don't want to overheat my brand new cpu.

DO NOT OVERCLOCK IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also dont get the E6850 get the E8400 its the same speed as the E6850 but its got 6MB of l2 cache AND can be overclocked to 4.0ghz easily, (ONCE YOU READ UP AND LEARN HOW TO DO IT that is)

Depends on what you want. The AMD chip is out of the question.
E6850 (get an E8400): current games
Q6600: Multi-tasking, games that utilize 4 cores

1. it's pretty hard to fuck up an overclock on a cpu, read a guide and go for it.
2. no chip is guaranteed to get to any speed.

Well there is a computer shop down the road that sells XP for 50~ bucks....
Intel Quad core... It fucking owns...
I'm a programmer (eC) game player (high end) video downloader/encoder/manipulator, and this Q6600 is AWESOME! Get it...

How about the one your mother board supports.
you just go by a cpu and it is not made for the board you just wasted your time.

Q6600, definitely.
By the way, it seriously isn't hard to get a pirated Windows Vista ($600 you save if you get ultimate...), but if you really want XP then you should get it pirated because. at the end of the day, its as good as the real one and you save money, so you can go buy yourself candy or something with those $85...
EDIT: And overclocking isn't that hard either. Find a guide and do it, you shouldn't have any problems.
