hey guys, I've recently been searching for a new pc (desktop).

I was mostly wondering between the processors. If I should go with AMD x2 or Intel Core duo ViiV..

I don't actually know much in processors, and i was hoping you guys can help me understand.

I'm searching for something that is not only powerful, but something that is solid and that will last.

I've been looking through the HP computers for the moment..

I don't necessairly have a bugdet.. As long as it doesn't go over 2000$ CAN.

Thank you for the help.

amd ftw!

amd works better even if the clock speed is lower

and why dont people build custom computers anymore? (buying parts separately). i find it very fun

My AMD is crappy, my celeron 900mhz is better than this thing.

Get an Intel Core 2 Duo, my Uncle has the E6700 really fast and stufs

ask kao/brian, they have core duo desktops...
all hail intel!!!!!!!!!!!!1

At this moment in time, the best average priced processor you can probably get is the Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 or E6600. I'd seriously recommend you DO NOT buy anything with Pentium in the name.

If you were looking for a laptop I'd honestly recommend a Macbook Pro with windows set as the default OS in bootcamp, but since your looking for a PC I'd recommend HP/Compaq or Dell, or to go the do it yourself route. Something like this may tickle your fancy.

Looked at this one in particular, but this bothered me : Graphic Card: NVIDIA FX7300SE With Up To 256MB Shared Video Memory & TV Out

You can upgrade the graphics card if you wish, but if you don't want to you can always look for a different system.
