O.P. Computer Suggestions?
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.

RE: Computer Suggestions?
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.
