I say split the difference and get an AMD tri-core that is somewhere in between obviously; more cores, higher clock speed. But if you're stuck to Intel, the 8400 is generally known as better value than the 8500.
In my setup right now I have the 8500 Wolfsdale, 3.16GHz, but what I want is better performance. The 8500 does perform better than the 8400, right? Or are they fucking with numbers again, and making things senseless?
