Also AMD processors are labeled by a number instead of its frequency. The number stands for how it performs against pentium. for example: The AMD Athlon XP 3200+ 400FSB processor runs at about 2.20GHz but in test it performed faster and more efficient than the Pentium 4 3.0 GHz. Trust me if your a gamer go with AMD. If you want a computer to surf the web and do homework on get pentium. Edit:BTW the build i mentioned before supports all the new-age games like doom 3, Counter-Strike: Source, and Half-Life 2. I have one with that build and its most definetly worth it for the price Nubli 11-07-2004, 07:10 AM I was thinking about getting the same stuff (the mobo, proc chip, maybe a case, etc.) Will run me about $350-$400 and I still have to get approval =( skidude 11-07-2004, 07:25 AM I was thinking about getting the same stuff (the mobo, proc chip, maybe a case, etc.) Will run me about $350-$400 and I still have to get approval =( u still tryen to get your mom to say u can use your money on comp? |
