Just trying to decide on a processor, I've always been a P4 user because of my limited knowledge when it comes to AMD. Over the past year i've read every article i can if it refers to AMD(i have a better understanding now,but i think it's just a basic understanding(dual cores???) when talking about AMD processors). Anyways i will be building a computer in the next few months and from the computer stores where i live(Canada) i've pick three options on which processor i can buy:
1.) AMD Athlon 64 3400+processor s754 - $289.99
2.) AMD Athlon xp 3200+ 400fsb retail - $273.99
or
3.) AMD Athlon 64 3500 + socket 939 - $366.99
Questions (please give responses in english,i`m a computer neebie)
1- What the difference between Athlon 64 and Athlon xp?
2- Is it worth the extra $100 for a 3500 over a 3400?
3- how can anyone afford Althon-xf? Over a $1000 dollars for your processor!
Just to let everybody know what i will be doing on my new computer- Video confrences, web surfing, Online mutiplayer Games (battlefield 2 ect..)
If anyone can help it would be appriceated.Thanks
p.s- i'm sure Nubius can help me ,cause i know he's a big fan of AMD.
