Best gaming option ?

[haxil]

Joo , i was wondering if u guys could help me choose , i had this problem , which i posted on clanbase and goes as followed : ( this is about medal of honor allied assault online )

JO , i was wondering if anyone else have / had the same problem as me : When i move/lean and then crouch it takes 2 sec before it performs and when i shoot it looks like my screen cant follow quick enough as i want, and the enemy can react faster almost cl_maxpackets is 30 , rate 20000...

I tested 3 razer mouses , have a zboard , Sapphire 1950 GT 512 MB (pci-express) ( can handle cod4 well ) , barracuda 7200 rpm hard disk 250 GB , 3.06 Ghz , 1024 MB ram , Abit AG8 motherboard , Xp pr0 32 , only thing is that my box with watt init ( supply i think ) makes like airplane noise , its 350 W , maybe its not enough so it causes the lagg or its my motherboard i dunno

If u can help or know some more , it would be appreiciated ,

- All settings on lowest and when u crouch it should be quick , so not that its build in the game like that.

I also was looking for a new Supply, and i think this is the one it gonna be :

Cooler Master Real Power, 620W, 20/24P

Now, the real question , what is the best processor for gaming :

Athlon XP 64bits X2 5600+ socket AM2 Dualcore

or

Core2 Duo E6550 2.33Ghz 4Mb Cache

Thanks !

1) Coolermaster does not make quality PSUs, I dont have the website but if someone else can post the tiers....OCZ GameXtreme, PC P&C, Corsair are good brands

Edit: http://www.tomswiki.com/page/Tiered+PSU+Listings?t=anon use this website and try to get a tier 1 or 2 if you can

2) At this point Intel is whooping AMDs butt, I would stick with Intel, they perform better than Amds

The 6550 if you get a mobo that supports 1333mhz FSB. Though I suspect the 5600+ is cheaper...

Try setting all graphics to minimum and see if you have the problem then...
