Im trying to decide what to do. I want to upgrade but have a budget and want to spend as little as possible. Basicaly I want to buy a CPU, either the P4 661 or 672 or the pentium D 950
I ocasionaly use Blender 3D and also I play Splintercell Chaos theory and Farcry but would like to play crysis, might need a gfx card but ignore that and asume I have the best gfx card and need a cpu to match. I also do some C++ and visual C# as well as Photoshop CS3, those are basicaly my needs. What do you recomend, the cpu comparason charts differ, sometimes pentium d is ahead and sometimes p4 which is what confuses me
My current specks located below and in my profile. I was given a P4 1.8GHz northwood but it apears that will be slower then my Celeron D 2.8GHz So I found out what cpus my mobo supports with my current bios and revision.
Should I buy a Pentium D or P4 672
I realize core 2 is the latest, but not sure im willing to spend that money yet, I still am saveing for my A+ certification
Asus P5VDC-MX rev 1
512MB DDR 400 RAM
Celeron D 2.8GHz 336 (256k L2) 90nm
Server 2003 Enterprise SP2
