I'm running an application which crunshes a lot of numbers. I have 3GB of RAM so that's not an issue, but my CPU is always at 100% (old AMD XP 1800+).
Does anyone have advice on what processor I should get? I was hoping to spend around $300-$400 on the CPU, and wanted whatever would give me the most bang for the buck. I don't play any games on my PC, and this isn't gonig to be used as a server, I just want the best CPU performance possible. Dual core would probably be a plus because I could utilize both processors.
I will be getting a new motherboard as well, so any CPU will work.
Thanks
