Amd Dual Core 4400+ Crossroads........

[vaccarjm]

Im about to build my home system and have come to a crossroads. Should i spend the $600+ on the AMD dual core 4400+ or just get the athlon64 3500 for $450 less and use that $450 and build a sempron machine as a 2nd pc?

I can build a decent 2nd machine with a 3000+ sempron just for web browsing or movie encoding while i use my main for gaming.

no. get the X2. because the 2nd sempron rig will do the encoding and stuff REALLY slowly. with the x2 it will be quick and you wont need to get out of your chair to do 2 things.

Get the X2... It will be more efficient in usage and use less power than having two inferior systems. Plus, imagine the bragging rights.
