Hey stupid its not athalon its athlon. Core2Duo is better but Core2Quad is the best now in 2009.
It will depend on the exact processor model number. There are many processors in Turion and Core2Duo series with varying specifications. Core2Duo processors with similar specs outperforms Turion and Athlon in most benchmarks. AMD processors are overall cheaper. - Neeraj Sharma
Depends on what their Clock Speed Is, Clock Speed Is measured in GHz, the higher the number the better the processor. For Instance an Intel Core 2 Duo could have a clock speed of 2.00 GHz and that would be better than a AMD Turion Clock speed of 1.73 GHz.
This is Simply Go For Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz Its Faster Than 2.4Ghz
Ofcourse it can...lol
Yes, an AMD fx 6300 fits into a ASUS m5a97 r2. For more information check out tomshardware.com/answers/id-1783753/amd-fx6300-work-motherboard-asus-m5a97.html

There is only two processor manufacturers are there.Intel and AMD.From Intel we have several processors such as Pentium, Pentium 2, Pentium3, Celeron, Pentium4, Dual core, core2duo, quad core, i7 and more...From AMD we have processors such as Phenom, Athlon, and more....To know more about processors visit http://www.yajivtech.com/
Intel tends to make better processors than AMD.
There are many types of CPU's.. For Intel, you have socket 775, and a bunch of others I'm blanking on right about now. For AMD, you have AM2. If you're talking about types (e.g. Pentium), you have AMD Phenom, Opteron, Athlon, Sempron, Duron. On the Intel side, you have Celeron, Pentium(s), CoreDuo, Core2Duo, Core2Quads.
2.5 GHz is better than 2.1 GHz. It is because it is the latest processor. It will be faster than 2.1 GHz.

Ok, this is a little guessing and a little facts. A core 2 duo will probably have a larger L2 cache, and be much better for multimedia and graphic design. If you are a gamer, the upgrade will probably make gaming worse, and you might have to set the affinity to one core, and notice a large drop in performance. The Core2duo does not work on many pcs with older processors, and has low support to zero support on AMD boards. It is however going to run cooler, and certain tasks are designed to run better on dual core pcs. This sounds like a typical, "I want a dual core, but is it better?" Question. If you want a cheap, fast, dual core processor, you can get a 3ghz Pentium D retail, straight off newegg.com for $100, but a 2ghz core2duo is better if you are willing to spend the money, which can get around $215, there's a lot of technical differences between the Pentium D and core2duo, but I do personally recommend the Pentium D, because it is great for gaming[Speed], and great for multi-tasking, but nowhere near what an equivalent speed core2duo would offer. ---rcdraco
