Hi all... first let me start by saying great forum. I have been learning a lot from you all
but as youll read below I have yet to get all the info I need. Im still reading ;-)
Any how, I finally decided to build a completely new computer (on my limited budget). My current PC is a 2.54 P4 im donating to my mom and dad. After doing what I though was a good amount of research ( I always try to research before I post a million questions) I decided on a Computer with
Motherboard; M3A78-EM AM2+ 780G/SB700 RT
CPU; AMD|A64 X2 5400 2.8G AM2 Black Ed
Memory; G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
Now after reading a bit more I think for just a tad more cash ($2.00 ?) I could buy a AMD Athlon 64 X2 775 BE CPU
that from what Im getting will run faster than the 5400 and it will also support 1066 ram.
Im not in a big hurry to build the PC so should I return the CPU and memory and get the 7750 with some 1066 memory? Also, should I go with a different MB?
Thank you all in advance for any responces.
I miss the old days when you could rate a cpu by its clock speed. Now days there are cpus with lower clock speeds that are faster than cpus with faster clock speeds (at least this is what I gathered)
