Cpu?

[OnYx]

i am going to be building a new computer soon i dont need it for heavy gaming or real heavy uses but i want to know which cpu to get i am thinking of the amd 2500 or would the celeron 2.6 be better because they are around the same price

[kaiweiler]

I'd go with the Athlon 2500+ Barton core, that's what I have now, and it's quite a nice CPU, Celeron would be alright if you aren't planning on any gaming, but I still prefer the AMD

[OnYx]

the fsb on the celeron is 400mhz and the amd its 333mhz wouldnt that make a difference

[bigdawgfoxx]

haha no. And you will make your 333Mhz core a 400Mhz core soon enough GO WITH THE AMD. Dont get Celeron. It has a small L2 Cache (pronounced cash) which makes it slower.

Get the AMD 2500+. It's more powerful.


@bigdawg, It's not right to assume that everyone will overclock their systems.

[bigdawgfoxx]

yeah i know..thats why i stuck the tounge out..it was kind of a joke...but he should newayz

[Virtualbody1234]

but he should newayz

That's only your opinion.

May I remind you that he didn't ask if he should overclock. Why don't you let him decide that on his own?

He is just trying to compare 2 products.

And not everyone has the money to buy all the cooling you have

If you dont overclock, the AMD will still be better. Definently get the AMD. If you plan on overclocking...The AMD is freaking awesome for that.
