The Intel E6400 CPU is one of the Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs. At this time, the Intel Core 2 Duo series delivers more bang for the buck than than the AMD Athlon64 Am2 series. So if you're going to buy a complete new machine, make it an Intel.
The Core 2 Duo series consists of several CPUs : the E4300, E6300, E6400, E6600, QX6700 (that's quad core - 4 CPUs in one chip!) and X6800 Extreme (and I'm probably forgetting a couple)
All these CPUs are dual core - 2 CPUs in one chip. The E4300 is the low end of the line, and the cheapest of the series, while the quad core QX6700 and the X6800 Extreme are the high end (and expensive, close to € 1000 for the CPU alone!). The E6300 and E6400 give you the best value for money at this time.
The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
