Win an Intel dual-core processor and motherboard bundle

If you're hankering after more speed, you can't do better than these two kits: each one comprises an Intel dual-core processor and — because we know you'll want to upgrade in future — a quad-core-ready motherboard.

We've got two slightly different processors to give away: a Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme. Both feature Intel's dual-core technology, which will give your video and audio editing applications and your favourite games a great performance boost. Dual core processors really come into their own when you have several processes running at once: for example, you can have a hard disk defragmenter or an antivirus or anti-spyware scanner running in the background, and still do a presentation, work on your CAD/CAM application or even play your favourite first-person shoot-'em-up.

These processors are both 64-bit and both have Intel Virtualisation Techology built in, so you will be able to take advantage of all the latest software with them.

Two lucky winners will receive one of these each together with one of the latest, fastest and altogether most extreme Intel motherboards — the D975Xbx2 — which come with three (count them) PCI Express slots and space for a massive 8GB of RAM.
