Ok, that helped.

Now, can anyone tell me the difference between a E4500 and a E2200? Both are listed as Core 2 Duo, and both are 2.2GHz. I'm still comfused.

E4500 = 2meg cache
E2200 = 1 meg cache.

Better as it has 1 meg more cache? Yes, as for the more cache. Better for you? This all depends on what your budget is, what your plans with your build are, things like that.

the pentium e-class dual core cpus (e2160, 2180, 2200,2220 etc) are 800fsb and are 1mb L2 cache, or 512kb per core. They have a slight clock/clock advantage over Athlon x2, maybe 10-15% on average. The core 2 duo E4xxx cpus (e4300, 4400, 4500, etc) are also 800fsb but, as mentioned have double the cache. They're probably another 5-10% clock/clock over the pentium dual cores. The core 2 duo e6x00 cpus are a mixed bag. the older ones like e6600 and e6700 are 4mb L2 cache and 1066fsb. They then release the e6300/e6400, those are also 1066fsb but only have 2mb L2 cached. Later they released e6320/e6420, which are 1066fsb and 4mb L2 cache. Last july they released the e6x50 cpus, these are 4mb L2 cache and 1333 fsb.
