Making proc decision

[Motox502]

Building a HTPC and I need to know what proc to go with since they are the same price. Its going to be paired up with a GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H . I want something fast and that will overclock descent but will still run pretty cool and be low on power consumption.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+

or

AMD Athlon X2 4850e

4850e..... HTPC and overclocking aren't compliments. And there's a HTPC section for that matter.

The 4850E is the better choice as a HTPC CPU since it uses less power. Don't know how well the 4850E overclocks because most people buy that CPU for it's low power, not OCing capability
