Processor?

[Chicken]

Heyo :p

I'm getting a new computer pretty soon and I was looking at its stats, I'm not much of a tech guy and don't know everything about processors and such and wanted people opinion on if this is good or not.

Also what would the processing speed be? Would each core be 2.0 or is it split as 1.0 each.

Also if you can find better deals on a processor then post em up

I bought the 3800x2 when it first came out (was $300USD) and it has been great. I have had it for about a year now. I would spend a little bit more and get maybe a 5200 dual core.

:tu:

Hey,
Quickly reply :o

I couldn't find a 5200 but I found 5400, little out of my price range

Most likely looking to spend max of $120 on the processor, max.

Edit: Found the 5200, little out of my price range at $300+

3800x2 $109 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103735

Just $11 under your budget.

You know what I messed up thats the one it comes with :yell:

Here I'll list what I'm gettin

CPU AMD A64 DUAL CORE 3800 AM2 BOX

Floppy is a waste of money, they really aren't used anymore. I don't know about Vista.. I'm still using XP Pro, thinking of upgrading...

Thats what I'm thinking :hehe: , their only like $10 and I have a spare one from an old comp . Yeah I'm thinking of just using windows xp pro.

I'll mostly be using my computer for school/gaming/internet :yell:

Your computer will be able to handle all 3. I'm currently using mine for everything, runs smooth on my new 320GB SATA HD.

Yeah thats all I'm really worrying about, I'm on my laptop now and I have massive lag even if I keep MSN and counter-strike open.

Also do you know if its 2.0 per core or is it split as like 1.0 a core.
