I'm an AMD guy, myself. You may get more good info about your CPU choices and other items for your system in General Hardware. You didn't say where you are, but they can probably help you find safe places to buy your final choices online.

I don't know where you live, but I would order the AMD X2 online. Much better processor.

thank u all guys for ur quick response


i am frm india and live in A.P(state) and a medicore place in my state

the market is dominated by intel

here the only AMD processor available is sempron(almost nothing like 64bit(very few that too in advance booking no dual core at all))

only some branded are giving amd 2200+ and 2800+


thank u guys

Do you multi-task heavily? If not, I'd recommend a 6xx series cpu over a Pentium D. They can be overclocked easily w/out the heat issues that the Pentium D's have. I used to have a Pentium 640 overclocked to 4ghz and temps were actually lower than my oc'd AMD X2.

If you are buying that PC intending to game, that 2.8GHz P4 is taking you anywhere as I retired my P4 2.8GHz gaming pc more than a year ago.

My personal opinion is, it really depends on what you are going to use it for. Just gaming, or doing other things including video or music editing.

Each processor has it ups and downs. The big difference between Intel and AMD is memory management. Intel went the route of larger bandwidth (Northbridge), but it sends the data less frequently. The best analogy I heard was, imagine a train with 4 cars, it holds alot, but it won't leave the station till the cars are all full. AMD on the other hand handles it's memory on the processor and at processor speeds. It sends much smaller amounts of data, but sends it more frequently and faster.

What does that mean for the end user? AMD is fast for Games, Intel tends to be faster for video encoding or anything with LARGE file sizes.

I have built both types of systems, and would tend to lean towards AMD especially for gaming. Although I just built an intel system with an Intel 830D. I am water cooling because of the higher temps (They run MUCH hotter).

As for online purchases. I have made many purchases and so far have been VERY happy with the service. I have only stuck to the bigger online companies, like newegg and Zipzoomfly (Bought 4 items just this month, they were GREAT!)

I am sure if I made any errors someone will jump all over me.
