always amd x2 3800 is good... i'd say worth it, more than getting more ram
Faster ram or faster processor?

ha you'd need to use Vsync...mrgeorgedude said:i bet that would play games really really good
i played halo without vsync with my newer 7800gt...
i couldn't win cuz it was too fast...
i dont think i got a single reading under 100fps lol and average was probably 120-130fps... i think i havent played it in so long though
depends on what theyre doing, or what games theyre playing.
it really depends on the processor... as stated an amd 3400+ would be about as fast as a pentium 4 3.4ghz...
but thats never a definite... a pentium 4 with HT would probably do better in encoding and converting...
the 3400+ would probably do better in gaming...
however, my X2 3800+ would outperform the P4 3.4ghz in encoding and such easily, but in gaming the 3.4ghz might win...
of course, not that my current clocks
if you want to compare two processors tomshardware has a nice interactive cpu chart
i suggest you familiarize yourself with it
http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html
it doesn't have every single cpu on there, for instance core duo's (and even opterons)
any questions and computerforum is here though
