I plan on building my first computer pretty soon..but I'm stuck on the question of either to use an AMD processor or INTEL. Can anyone tell me what the difference is?
At first I was going to use a "Intel Pentium 4/ 2.8E GHz 800MHz FSB, 1MB L2 Cache" which costs $193. Then I saw the 3000+ Barton that was $166. THEN (lol) I saw the 2500+ that was a measly $80.
Could you tell me what the difference is between these chips? I don't want to buy something that will become obsolete in a month, but I also don't want to shell out a lot of money when I can buy something cheaper with the same performance. Any help would be appreciated.
BTW those prices came from newegg.com
