i was thinking of building a new comp, mainly for gaming. i was thinking of puttin an AMD 3700+ in but i saw that i said i ran at 2.2ghz, does this mean that it is equal to running a intel 2.2ghz chip??
 
No way. A 2.2GHz AMD is much, much faster than a 2.2GHz Intel (assuming you are talking about the Pentium 4).
 
Generally, the AMD chips include a 3400 or something at the end of their description. This gives a BALLPARK description of what the equivalent speed of a P4 chip would be. Not exact, but it's just provided to give you an idea of the general comparability.
 
the dual cores x2 would be not bad, 3800+ and up....also the 3700+ that you were looking at is a pretty good chip, i have it and it does everything i need it to do....

really to recommend something we need a price range, like you can buy the best proc out for like $1000, but thats prolly out of your price range...
 
i was lookin at the cpu you have in your signature, how fast is it really? does it beat a 3.2 P4? also the 7800GT video card is this good?
 
i'd wait for conroe to release in late july. thats when AMD will lower prices a ton.
but just for general use i'd get a 3000+ and a 7600gt for a budget comp... and an X2 3800+ and a 7900gt for a better configuration.
