Is this a good processor?
I've heard rumors that Celerons run hot, however I'm not really impressed with the specs for the Sempron.
Almost tempted to bite the bullet and get the P4 3.0E
This will be mostly an office computer, with occasional gaming.
Here's what I'm thinking, or the Celeron D.....
______________
Intel P4 3.00E GHz 800FSB w/1MB Cache & HT
Intel D865GBFL, Audio, Video, Lan
SLK1600 Mid Tower w/300W
Kingston 512 DDR3200
Maxtor 80 GB 7200rmp fluid bearing
Samsung 17' Pure Flat.
16x16 DVD/DL
______________
After all is said and done, with Win XP and peripherals...
price is about $ 1120.00 Canadian.
Im actually building this for my father. This is by no means a gaming system, of course.
The only thing Im having a real hard time with is the processor. Lots to choose from. It has to be stable, and not needing an upgrade for some time.
Thoughts?
thanks.
