I'm getting a new computer and have some questions about which processor I should choose. The computer will mostly be used for basic stuff any computer can handle, but also some occasional gaming (none of the high-detail FPS games though... some sports games, stuff like that).
The rest of the PC will be exactly the same... same video card, same everything else. Here are the options I'm looking at:
Athlon X2 Dual Core 3800+ with 1GB of RAM
Athlon 64 3800+ with 2GB of RAM
Athlon 64 3200+ with 2GB of RAM, and $50 in my pocket
I don't know much about Athlon processors, how much of a difference there is between these processors, or how much the processor affects gaming. Like most people, I know that more RAM is a good thing and it'll keep your PC from slowing down with a lot of programs open, but that's it.
Which of those three options would you recommend?
