i keep reading about amd boards and chips.. are they much better?
i want a computer that is around the speed of a p4 3.0mhz, that takes ddr2 pc5400 ram. all the computers ive used and played around with were intel pentiums.. is it any different to build?
i want a semi fast computer that is going to run tons of programs at once.. encoding, converting, etc.. tiny bit of gaming./
should i get a dual core processor or will single work fine. i basically just need help on which chip would fit my needs best, then which motherboard is a good deal to match.
im only using one video card if that makes any difference. overclocking isnt much of an issue either, maybe someday but not anytime soon probobly.
budget for the mother board and chip is probobly 300 at most.. depending on if its worth it to get something better, i could decide to spend 400 or so. but if i can get one for 250 that would be cool too.
any info would be helpful.. thanks.
