The $700 difference can easily be explained - the Intel systems have 2 GB RAM instead of 1 GB (go for 2 GB or more) and have a 7950 GTX graphics card instead of a 7600 GT. The 7950 GTX has two 7900 GPUs on board, the 7600 GT has one 7600. The 7950 is more than twice as fast as the 7600, and significantly more expensive.
The E6400 is $90 cheaper than the E6600. How much RAM can you buy for $90? Probably a gigabyte.
A 2 GB E6400 system performs better than a 1 GB E6600 system.
