Hi,
I picked up a ABIT KV8 Pro motherboard for dirt cheap awhile back and its been sitting around collecting dust. I thought I'd build a second computer with it before it becomes obsolete. The computer will not be used for gaming, and it will not be overclocked.
What I need to know is if I'm only surfing the web or doing word processing, will I notice a speed difference between a Sempron 64 or Athlon 64? I must admit I am a little confused about the Newcastle, Clawhammer, Palermo, Venice, Sempron, etc. As well as the operating frequency vs. L2 cache, FSB and the like.
I am not afraid to spend the money, I just do not want to waste it on overkill if I won't notice the difference in my web surfing and other minor stuff I do. I will be using 1 gig of Corsair Value RAM and am undecided on a video card. Any recommendations on a CPU/video card would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
