Need Help With Buying PC parts
by Buelltoo - 7/19/06 7:54 PMHello Everyone!
I plan to build my Dad a new computer... and I need help with picking out the processor..
His computer is 90% of the time going to be work related.
I am open to both AMD and Intel, and the budget for the computer is around 1650.
Because the Processer is probably the biggest part of the computer, I had planned to spend at the most 650.
Any suggestions of help I would really appreciate it!!
Thanks

Intel Pent D 950

If your father's processing need isn't that much then go with the AMD Athlon 64 3400+ which is only $50 at TigerDirect after $50 rebate.

I did a little research on the Intel D Processor, and it seems like a great processor..
Thanks so much
If anyone thinks there is a better one for a good price, please reply
How soon are you doing this?

They offer the most bang for the buck. Also, as someone else wrote, you could wait for the AMD price drops to go into effect. They're top dual-core non-gaming processor is going to be right around $300, I believe. But, at that point, if you're spending that much money, you're better going with a Core 2 Duo processor.
