Which Processor Is Better?
913048
I have been looking into this too.  After reading a lot of materials, I think the best choice of those two is probably the E6300.  This link below gives you some idea of relative performance between the processors.  I have heard Core 2 runs cooler and uses less power.\n\nhttp://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,2014651,00.asp\n\n GPUs are becoming as important, or more important, than CPUs.  If you do buy the new machine, I say go cheap on the graphis for now, and upgrade that when you go to Vista - high quality directX 10 cards will be cheaper in the spring.  Also,(if you don't already have a motherboard) I would recommend socket AM2, not 939, if you do go with AMD, because you might be able to use AMD's upcoming 4x4 motherboards.

Both give good performance.. but ASUS stands a little forward in name.. if u r going for AMD processors, i prefer ASUS.. its better tuned for AMD processors..

Out of those - go for the pentium 4 - but the new intel's - core 2 duo's are really kicking a$$ at the moment. - I'd seriously consider looking at a low end one of those even if it's a little over budget.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115005

Both are made by Intel - I don't personally see any real difference in performance from the type of chip (either Celeron or Pentium).\n\nWhat you really need to know is the clockspeed, not the chip name.\n\nThe PC you buy should reflect what purpose it will be used for. If it's just word documents etc, you only need an entry level PC, but for high powered graphics editing, serious gaming etc, you'll want a higher spec one.\n\nPCs on the market today are getting to the 4GHz mark (that's 4 GigaHertz) for the really high spec models.\n\nDepending on what you want to buy, you need to understand that the higher the clockspeed, the faster the PC will be.\n\nAdditionally, you should check out how much RAM it has. For docs, you can go for 128/256 MB RAM, but higher spec PCs are getting produced with upwards of 1024 MB\n\nHard disk size is merely to do with the amount of data you will store on it. Standard is 80GB last time I checked, but there are PCs out there with 250GB etc. As with the above, it's all to do with requirement and bigger is better. Remember with this though that text takes up less space than graphics.\n\nHope this helps.

If it's a single thread program, the pentium 3.0 ghz\nIf it's a multi thread program, the dual core.

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.

If you use your PC to multitask, then dual core is what you want. If you use your PC for "one thing" at a time, then you are better off with the P4.

Neither of those two cards will be up to the task of the games with which you're wanting to use them.  That said, the X1300 is much, much faster.  That's why it's the more expensive of the two.

dual cores are best for multitasking and p4s are best for gaming. \n\nif you dont already have a pentium motherboard though, please consider getting an AMD brand instead. they are cheaper and less resource intensive.

basically it depends on ones need.\nits the processor cycle speed and RAM size which really matters.\np4 2.66 ghz can work slow compare to amd 3.0 ghz.\nbut i feel for one desktop machine 256 mb RAM and p4 2.66ghz is better.

AMD is better overall, lower power usage, price/performance, and better for multitasking. The benchmarks prove it, just Google AMD vs Intel. Even better, most AMD systems are cheaper than Intel systems. I agree with the poster below, go for Athlon 64 for the best performance.

The processor on its own does not make the Laptop the best.  It is the combination of processor, RAM, Disc space for additional RAM and what you intend to do with it!\n\nThe speed of the processor is only good for internal calculations.  The speed is slowed down for display purposes.  See FSB speed.\nHeavy graphics use will also require a good graphics card.

Try the links below for specifics.  There are just too many different processors and their variants out there to give you a list here, but these links may help you find what you're looking for.

I would say the Pentium 3 would be better. But for games I wouldn't really try to play much at all with either of those CPU's.

A Celeron processor is cheaper than a Pentium, but at the cost of speed. It is slower, but cheaper.

go to this web site and you can read there all the stuff about Intel and AMD CPUs and a lot of comparisons.\nhttp://techreport.com/reviews/page.x?pg=processors
