hey peeps, Im looking to buy a new system..which CPU shall I buy.The X2 4200+ with 1gb ram and 250gb harddrive, the 3500+ comes with 512ram and 200gb harddrive...and the 4200 cost about just under $200 more.
I heard that the X2 4200+ is like having two 3500+ CPUs in one..running at same 2.2 ghz processing speed,but most software doesnt fully utilize a dual processor just yet..so it seems like a waste.So I would imagine if I were playing games on it..there wouldnt be much of a different from 3500 to 4200.If I get the 3500+ I can spend the money I save on a good GPU and run games better..plus I can add DDR I already have to it.
I mostly just use my pc for internet..and minor gaming. Im on a sempron
2400+ /1.25 gb ram/GF FX 5200 gpu now.
Another question I have is if I upgrade to either of those sys. will it make my internet speed any faster..Im on low speed cable.. Inputs appcreciated
Thanks! :roll:
