Hi guys,
I'm about to buy a PC mainly for gaming, but on a £1000 net budget and face a few choices:
1. CPU
- Pentium D 940, or
- Athlon 64 DualCore X2 4600+
I'm pretty lame with technology, but so far i thought its the clock that matters. D 940 is 3.2 GHz whereas Athlon is sth like 2.4 or 2.2 (not sure) but browsing through the internet sites about PCs i seem to get an idea they are pretty much comparable. Is that so? If not, which one is better?
2. Graphics
- 512MB GeForce 7900GTX
- 512MB Radeon X1800xT
With those i'm lost completely. Any of them better than the other? Does it matter with which CPU they go?
Please help.
