I'm thinking about upgrading the CPU in my PC. Right now my computer is an AMD 64 X2 4600+, with 2GB of RAM and a Nvidia 7600GT. And XP Pro. I'm not a gamer but I do some video editing. I'm looking to speed up the time it takes to render video files.

I'm thinking about the AMD 64 X2 6000+ or the Intel E6750. I was told to go to Toms Hardware and compare the 2. They are for the most part the same, performance wise. The Intel is a little better. If I go with the AMD I can still use my mobo (it is compatible) but if I get the Intel I have to get a new board. RAM is the same.

So, I'm asking for opinions.

O.K. thanks

One thing you can't deny: the comparable Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs are pretty much better at audio/video encoding when it comes to the amount of time to complete the task.

See HotHardware, Bit-Tech.net and X-Bit Labs.

However, I still agree with an AMD upgrade because of the setup you have to work with now.
