ok, basically i'm seeing a lot of confusion over what CPU to recommend.
<b>I.]</b> So far I've been recommended:
- AMD Opteron
- AMD X2 4200+
- AMD Athlon 4000+
- AMD Athlon 3700+
- AMD Athlon 3200+
Basically, this seems to be the problem that keeps comin' back to me.
A.] My usage:
- No Overclock/ excellent performance stock
- Some high-end/demanding gaming (mid)
- Multitasking (low-mid)
- Music recording/editing/listening (mid-high)
- General usage (high)
- web design/photoshop (mid-high)
I've been told:
- Opteron's made for Overclockers
- low end CPU would be better,as long as i got a high-end videocard
- Dual core is in the future and is worth it.
<b>II.]</b>For motherboards:
- Epox EP-9NPA+ Ultra
- eVGA 133-K8-NF41-AX
So, which motherboard do you recommend? If it's not a mobo out of these 2, another you might recommend me getting?
So, through information I've gathered, what would you recommend i get? (maybe this'll help others as well).
Thanks in advance, -peace
PS: i will get the comp between mid-late Jan. early Feb.
