processor recommendation

nick5449 · 08-21-2006, 12:19 AM

I have about $300 for a new processor. I havent been keeping up with whats out there so I dont really know what I should get. I prefer AMD over Intel...and I know AMD just cut their prices by quite a bit. Thanks for any suggestions.

For $300 i buy Intel Core 2 Duo E6400, the AMD cut prices becouse core 2 duo is faster, cheaper.

Do you have money for a new motherboard too? Or just the processor?

i will have to disagre with ulker and say that intel is not faster than AMD...if i had known this when i built my comp i would have bought AMD.... it you are looking for superiour speed and performance for your price range...get this

Theres a couple of Core 2 Duo cpus that are faster than top in AMDs right now!

true...but for 300$? i havent seen many...only reason why some intel might be faster is cuz they were he forst to come out with dual core...fsb 2000 compared to fsb 800???

Well, I'm going to have to disagree with aspire. Go for a Core 2 Duo E6400 like [ULKER] said. Newegg is out of stock for now, but here's the link.

Vert true. Overclocked that may easily beat out a fx62.
