help. buying a cpu

[2048Megabytes]

hey, i was looking around, and i saw an amd phenom 2.5Ghz triple core, but its more exspensive then the other amd triple core

http://www.outletpc.com/comb7.html <--this is the phenom

http://www.outletpc.com/comb5.html <--this is the Athlon---which ones better?

That is a 1st generation Phenom processor. They were about 25% slower clock for clock than the 2nd generation Phenom processors. Go with an Athlon II or Phenom II processor. They are much better.

The Athlon II 445 has C3 stepping which possibly makes it faster than the Athlon II 435 you are looking at. That Athlon II 435 may or may not have the C3 stepping technology on it. All Athlon II 445 processors have C3 stepping. Go with the Athlon II 445 processor.
