[Sallyo]

i want to buy a computer and was wondering if i shoud get a celeron or a pentium what is better?

[Mïcrösöül°V³]

pentium........faster

[Sallyo]

i think it might cost more money i dont relly do much though like mostly homework and sometimes download music but its just for simple things but later i might want to play some games with other people on the web and download movies too i head that this is a good place to get movies to would it need to be alot faster for movies?

a P4 (pentium 4) is better than a celeron. Larger cache and some other things make it faster than the celeron.

But if you had a choice between intel (pentium) and AMD i would definately choose AMD.
You get more for your money.


Btw, welcome to the board. in teh future you should use mroe descriptive titles.

I'd recommend purchasing an AMD system too.

Not only is it far cheaper than it's closest competitor in terms of processor power, your games and films will run fine. It's like AMD was made for gaming

Welcome to the board.

What is the computer going to be used for?

Pentium is better but much more costly.

I also think that AMD CPUs offer more for your money.

PS. Are you related to MM?
