This stylish and powerful Systemax Venture

Pros? Cons?

What's the diff between
Intel® Core™2 E8500 (6MB,3.16 GHz, 1333FSB)
and
Intel® Core™2 Q9400 (6MB,2.66GHz, 1333FSB)

Sheesh! Ther's no consistency in naming convention. A year ago someone recommended the 6800 over the 6600 CPU, so the bigger the number, the better?

I remember now why I have not bought a new PC lately....

This chart, I guess my P4 2.4 is on there somewhere....
