Thanks sammorris. The amd would be 2.2ghz 2x right? if so why would it be faster then the 2.8ghz 2x intel? sorry im still bit of a noob to all this!
AMDs are far more powerful 'per mhz' than the Intel Pentium Ds. Intel's core 2 duos are even more powerful than the AMDs, but since the CPU in that PC is a Pentium D, it's pretty slow. A 2.2Ghz Athlon64 X2 works out about similar to a 3.6Ghz Pentium D. Since the D is only the 2.8Ghz model, the AMD is faster.
yea, stay away from the foxconn MOBO, i have one, and i hate it right now, it really sucks. im just waiting to get some money to buy a new one.
Thanks guys, im not going to bother with either of those now, ive been warned against buying bundles off ebay. i was directed to ebuyer where i found these; http://orders.ebuyer.com/customer/shopping/index.html?action=c2hvd2NhcnQ= Look a bit better? so is it 2x 2.3ghz or 2x 4400+ or both? Is it all compatable? Basically ive just started getting into gaming on the pc and i want to play games like bioshock, and halo3 when it eventually comes out on pc! But also want a newer pc that isnt going to be out dated in 6 months! Im planning on getting more ram but this is the most i can splash out at the moment. I currently have a AMD Athlon XP 2200+, 512mb ram and a really crap motherboard. Thanks again
Ebuyer shopping carts are account specific, we'd need to login as you to see them. Post the individual links.
sorry http://www.ebuyer.com/product/121169 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/125197 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/91121 http://www.ebuyer.com/product/120309
Yeah, they should work fine. The 4400+ is roughly equivalent to an Intel core 2 Duo E6300. it is faster than any Pentium D.
Thanks again sammorris. can you just clarify one more thing for me please. Is it 2.3ghz+2.3ghz=4.6ghz or have i still got it all wrong?
Nope, no matter how many cores you have, it's still 2.3Ghz. The difference is that you can run two programs and they can both have 100% of 2.3Ghz. With programs that support dual cores, it can seem like 2x2.3Ghz, but for the majority of programs, you'll see little difference between a single core and a dual core. The advantage comes in that your PC still runs perfectly while you're using a program that has high CPU usage.
