Which processor i should choose?

Gttrz97 · Sep 3, 2013

i own both of them and these are followings: AMD Phenom x4 9550 (2.2ghz) or AMD Athlon x2 II 220 (2.8ghz)

I'd go with the X4, it's a Quad Core CPU & can handle more threads at any one time.

the thing is im choosing between them about capabilities like music production and gaming, so it gives me always a hard time

Games will likely utilise the Quad Core CPU, what're you playing?

Gttrz97 · Sep 3, 2013

Just Cause 2, GTA IV, Dota 2, Rigs of Rods and so on. and i use FL studio for music production
Forgot to mention even that i run PCSX2 also!

Yup, X4.

btw x4 lags verymuch on pcsx2. i'd like to play that but i can't only the X2 is capable of it. but i choose myself x4 too
