Want to have a clear comparison between AMD Athlon Bribane X64 5200+ 2.7 GHz with Intel E4500 Core2Duo 2.2 GHz

you must upgrade your graphic card. the problem as nothing to do with your chipset. This are the minimum requeriments to run the game:

OS: Windows XP/Vista
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.8 GHz / AMD Athlon 64 3000+
Memory: 1 Gb
Hard Drive: 4 Gb free
Video Memory: 128 Mb
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 6600 / ATI Radeon X1300
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
Network: Broadband Internet Connection for Online Multiplayer
DirectX: 9.0c
Keyboard
Mouse
DVD Rom Drive

Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows XP/Vista
Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO @ 2.5 GHz / AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
Memory: 2 Gb
Hard Drive: 4 Gb free
Video Memory: 512 Mb
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 8800 / ATI Radeon HD 2900

That should do it.

All IDE hard disks are compatible with those items.

depends on what you plan to do with the cpu amd are good but a 3200 may only run @ 1.8 to 3.2 ghz depending while a intel 3200 will run 3.2 ghz.
I believe intel are more stable & run cooler than AMD but AMD benchmarks on Games better but run hotter (so get a good cooling fan & heatsink both pentium / celeron d & intel dou / dual core / core 2 dou and amd x2 have 2 cores (but watch your front side bus and cache the higher the better but the more $ also) then You need a good stable mobo that supports the chip you get (I preffer asus & msi for Gamers and biostar / msi for home users)

Its rated the same as an old P4 that runs at 4000MHz.

Or are you meaning what current cpu is it equivalent too in the core2duo range?
