Hi! I'm in the process of getting ready to purchase a new computer. I'm not quite ready to start using Vista yet, but am designing my new system so that when I decide its time to make the switch to Vista, the computer will be ready.
I'm hand-picking every aspect of my system so that I have what I think will be the best system possible to meet my needs.
I'm blind, and use JAWS for Windows professional version as my screen reader. I typicly use my computer for word processing, web browsing, playing on-line games, and working with audio and midi files.
With that general background, I can finally get to my question:
I am torn between two processors, and need advice from folks who actually know about this stuff with regards to which one will be more responsive and reliable.
I tried using the comparison chart here on the Tom's Hardware site, but JFW didn't like it at all, and I couldn't seem to get any useful information.
Anyway, my two choices are the Intell e-6800 2.93 ghz processor and the Intel Pentium Extreme 3.73 ghz processor.
I am leaning towards the 3.73 processor because it sounds to my uneducated mind as if it would be faster, but reviews I've read on Newegg seem to indicate otherwise.
If there are any kind folks out there who could please assist me in making as informed of a buying choice as possible, I would really appreciate it.
Also, because this site is a real nightmare for me to navigate with my screen reader, I would really appreciate it a lot if responses to this message could be sent to my actual e-mail address, which is
Melissah@fuse.net.
Thanks in advance for any assistance any of you can provide in this matter, and I hope that everyone is having a really great day!
