When looking at the different processors, I have seen AMD-Toledo,San Diego,Windsor, etc. What is the difference, and are these chips different from boxed processors directly from AMD?? Do these chips cost more and where does one buy these??? Which one is more reccomended over the other??
 
They are code names for the cores !, and yes it does make a difference what they are.
L1/L2 cache size/NM/and overclocking abilities

Core
If referring to the name of the processor or the architecture the core of the processor refers to the under-the-hood name of the CPU. As a similar analogy, wheres a processor may liken to "pickup truck" or "car" (or even a specific make and model), the core would like to "V8" or "HEMI" or something as such. To add to the confusion, there are subtimes revisions of cores and often in common computer speak, core names may even be shorted down. A quick list of some cores past present and future:

Intel: Deschutes, Covington, Mendocino, Katmai, Coppermine, Willamette, Northwood A, Northwood B, Northwood C, Banias, Dothan, Gallatin, Prescott, Cedar Mill, Smithfield, Presler, Dempsey, Paxville, Tulsa, Millington, Montecito, DP Montrale, Montrale, Millville, Whitefield, Dimora, Tukwila, Allendale
AMD: Spitfire, Applebred, Morgon, Thunderbird, Palomino, Thoroughbred A, Thoroughbred B, Thorton, Barton, Roma, Georgetown, Albany, Palermo, Newcastle, Winchester, Paris, Venice, San Diego, Clawhammer, Toledo, Denmark, Troy, Egypt

The core name may also be referred to as the codename of the processor. Please note the above is a brief list of examples, not a complete list of all available cores.

Holy ****, there are so many CPU cores to choose from. Which core would you all recommend?? Please help on this matter.
 
Well if your not going to do any overclocking, i would go with the cheapest one that has a high cache.

You know that thread that was linked in post #3? I answered your question there already. If you need a direct link, see here
 
go with venice, toledo, or san diego. clawhammer is outdated, and uses 130nm process technology. all that means is that it puts out MUCH or heat.
