Why not Core 2 Duo?
Just to let you know, it doesn't quite work that way. First of all, the Ghz doesn't add up with multi-core processors. Secondly, Ghz doesn't matter nearly as much now as it did a few years ago.
Oh....
i'm reading, and learning..............
my current computer is getting glitchier and glitchier, and i'm out of warranty now (hardware glitches, not software glitches)
but i'm super paranoid about doing ANY upgrades until vista x64 comes out, or xp64 gets more software support, but i feel i need to upgrade sooner than later.
I of course haven't decided on a processor yet, i'm just blown away by the progress that's been made in the 2 years since i bought my curent computer.
Ram alone has doubled in speed, and in price
And who's ever heard of $1000+ processors in the last 5 years? There's a scary margin of performance now.
When i bought my last computer, all you had to pick from was a pentium 3.6 or an AMD 3200+
now there's single core, dual core, quad core, and 64-bit makes the choice even more difficult.
there's even chips with the same clock and different FSB speeds.
computer buying is becoming a more and more difficult decision. if it weren't for this forum, i wouldn't know what to do.
In fact, even with this forum, i have no idea what to do
