I'm not into overclocking actually. Okay, so I unlocked 4 pipelines on my Geforce 6800, big deal, but besides that I don't really like to mess with my hardware that much. The Core 2 Duo E6600 will surely help me tremendously just by itself. I mostly need its power for video encoding and post-production. But of course I do love playing games. So for me, it's definitely a winner.

Or some type of cooling system suitable for overclocking. The Intel cores run hot to begin with. Plus, it's just a sin to overclock anything with stock cooling. I personally would take the heat-sink off the chip-set, clean it and reset it with arctic silver. You would be surprised how shitty some of the factory work can be on setting heat-sinks. This may be necessary with the video card too. If you plan on overclocking that as well. If you know someone in the marble and granite business, kitchen counter-tops and such. They usually have acetone needed for cleaning the surfaces.
Is this going to be a 64 bit Vista or Linux box? Most likely a XP Pro with dual boot and a virtual machine.

Anybody know how well the Core 2 Duo encodes videos using H.264? Any benchmark I've seen doesn't bother to tell you the video length or resolution... only the amount of minutes it took. Very lame benchmark.

For one thing, thanks a lot for that link, I never knew they had that.
Secondly, holy crap. My Athlon XP 2600 took around five minutes to encode a 9 second 428x240 video using H.264. Talk about owned?

Intel FTW...
Nice PC... why, oh, why do we have to have QUAD core processors? That's getting beyond a joke... So, by 2020, we'll be using 1024 Bit, 32 Cored processors rofl
