sorry, im completely new to computer, zero knowledge. I'm getting a new desktop, but confused about
What is the difference between intel and amd... for example
Intel:
Core 2 Quad
i7/i5
AMD:
Phenom II x2
Phenom II x3
Phenom II x4
(and there are different numbers behind the x2,x3,or x4) what are those mean?
bascially which one is better? I heard core 2 quad is not worth it for present, because games are not over 2 core yet... not sure wat im talking about, but I'm planning on playing starcraft 2, modern warfare 2, and diablo 3 in the future. please tell me which cpu is good for these games, which will cause no lag at all for these games.
also, off topic, what is the difference between DDR3 and DDR2?
also, for video card, is GeForce 9800 GT good enough for the games i mentioned? or do i need like GTS or GTX? i heard those two are really hot and need good cooling for it..
