And, what do you plan to do with it? Having fast stuff for the sake of it is cool, but picking between those processors may be easier if it is understood what you might do with them.

No link yet, just about to buy it. Not going to do much that would stress the system, just want it fast for the sake of fast. Most stressing application would be video editing. I can't figure out a way to get any info on the motherboard, so I don't know if it supports anything higher than 667. I also saw the article on madshrimps that mentioned this:
"So it doesn?t matter much what memory speed/timings you buy, the value line will suit the Intel Core 2 system just fine, but do keep one thing in mind, as in our testing we found performance actually decreases a bit going from PC4200 (533) to PC5300 (667)!"
