Nonsense. I ran a small 10 person server on a core2duo with no problems and good fps. 

That being said, Arma tends to love high clock speeds over anything else. I'd use the vishera too. It's single core performance is stronger, plus it has more cores. The Vishera for sure.

amd is not strong at singlecores lol

That's a fair statement on the average. But he's talking about two specific CPU's, of which the AMD has stronger single core performance.

Using a benchmark website, for single core performance (Which for ARMA is important) the AMD wins.

So if i overclocked the intel to 4.0 then it will be better than the amd for running an arma server?

Not likely. The AMD is a newer and faster chip. Overclocking the intel might get it to similar performance, but if you're going to overclock, you might as well overclock the AMD and get even better results.
