Which would be better and why?
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E8400 (2x 3.0GHz/6MB L2 Cache/1333FSB)
Intel® Core™2 i7-920 2.66 GHz 8M L3 Cache LGA1366
The duo is faster, but the i7 is newer with H/T
I'll be using the computer for some gaming, but mainly for my Game and Simulation Programming degree. So I'll be needing to create high-end graphics and what-not. There isn't too much a price difference, just worried about the slower processing of the i7. Thanks
