Which processor is best? (quick and easy question)?

FYI, intel is a good processor but AMD is better processor. intel is still trying to catch up to amd because the amd processor runs faster and more reliable than intel. shop around on newegg.com to get some better ideas on how you want your computer.

Actually, an average PC will do quite well, say 1.5-2Ghz. However, for rich multimedia, concentrate your study on the best VIDEO card. That is where all the processing burden is going to go. Look into Gforce or ATI cards. They vary greatly.

Pentium Extreme E........ if u want real performance with games.\nIts a very good processor,but takes a lot of power.Also hav a pretty good cooling system if u r goin 4 dis

Your best bet to get the most of your processor is to install it. Then boot it up. If it's a respectable motherboard, it will detect the difference and offer you a chance to set it up. Choose the specs that match your new CPU, and it'll give it the best chance of running the longest.

Definitely go for a strong Pentium 4....however, in my opinion, AMD processors are better for gaming. Also, it's not just the CPU you have to worry about. Flight Simulator runs best with at least 1 GB of RAM. That's what I use, and it runs fine.\n\n\nHope this helps!!!

I would go for option 1. It's much easier to upgrade the RAM than the CPU. And btw, in most cases a 1GB memory is  sufficient.

In the land of server and workstation procesors, it is the AMD Opteron. Even better is the fact that it is dual core and can be run in dual proc mode (2x2=4 cores!!!), thus enabling wonderful multitasking abilities (and support for multithreaded applications such as DVD Shrink.\n\nIn the land of gaming processors, it is the almighty FX-60. This dual core gaming processor is the last CPU coming out for the soon-to-be-outdated socket 939 for AMD (its being replaced by socket f/M2). If you dont want dual core (no games currently are optimized for dual core but some programs are), then go with the much cheaper FX-57.\n\nThere isnt a real answer to your question. The FX-60 easily outperforms the Intel Extreme Edition 955 in most things (like games), but in terms of sheer clock speed, the intel processors are on top (even if the AMD processors are'quicker')

if you want to use it for doing fast programming or heavy proccesing INTEL® is the best, but if you want to do graphical jobs or heavy games or normal use AMD® is the best.AMD uses crystal® technology which i love it!! but if you give it hard work for long time the crystals start to burn and you will burn your CPU!!!\nINTEL® uses cabon™ technology which is not bad but if you work on TOO fast and HEAVY proccesing the carbon starts to warm and reduces the CPU REAL time\none more wrong thing the others said is that ANY CPU's clock is standard and there is no diffrence between them(in same clock) the total job is sensible after a full proccesing!!

Intel's Core 2's are the undisputed kings of processors at the moment.  even the AMD guys have had to admit that the new Intel chips are far superior.  the larger cache memory is important, but you should also know that the Intels are 64-bit processors as well, so they are both Windows Vista-ready.

I prefer my Pentium 4. It has-\n\n3.00 GHz (Reports of up to 4.00 GHz succesful overclocking!)\n800 MHz FSB\n1 MB L2 Cache (I'd have prefered two, but whatever)\n478-Pin (I think...)\nHyper-Threading (Doesn't work well with windowed 3D stuff though)

Go for the intel core2 duo processor. I prefer it more than AMD Athlon. I dont have an Athlon but I have seen people regretting their decision to buy AMD. Go for intel as your needs are quite simple. And by the way, which college offers degree in software engineering?

The extreme editions.\n  \nIntel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.73GHz / 2MB Cache / 1066MHz FSB / Socket 775 / Hyper-Threading /

Right now, AMD makes the best processors in my opinion. This doesn't mean that all AMD processors are better than Intel processors, however, just that the top of the line AMDs are the best you can get in my opinion. You are on the right track getting dual core. Don't look at clock speeds if you are comparing Intel to AMD, as they rate them differently and AMDs report slower clock speeds even though the chip may be faster. If you really want to get down to it, checck the benchmarks that http://www.tomshardware.com have. They will help to show which processors are faster at which tasks.\n\nIf my answer was helpful, don't forget to consider rating it as the best. Thanks!

This is exactly what I have in one of my computers, it's great, it's fast, I really don't want nothing better, you just said it..\nINTEL PENTIUM D PROCESSOR 805 WITH DUAL CORE TECHNOLOGY (2 x 2.66GHZ, 533FSB)\nThis is the one, and with this question I just move to level 6 thanks..
