CPU AMD Athlon64 BOX 3500+, 90nm, Sck939

Pentium Intel4 BOX 630 3.0GHz, 64-bit, 800MHz, 775-
CPU INTEL Celeron BOX 341, 64-bit, 2.93GHz, Sck775, 256K, 533Mhz

witch one to buy? i dont have much money (i have to buy mbo and 1gb of ddrII)

Go with AMD Athlon64 939

for gaming is the 3500+ is the best bang for the buck

a semptron or a celeron is only good for office and internet pc's i dont considder it as a die hard gaming cpu

for video editing and multi threading the intel is the best choice

I would definitely stick with the AMD Athlon64 S939 CPU, as Regeneration suggested!

A sempron / celeron is simply a stripped down version of the true processor (cache is removed, which causes a dramatic slow down). Don't save your money as the performance loss is too great! As screenager mentioned, they are good for simple internet machines (like in a library), but nothing more.

AMD is beginning to do very well for themselves in the video/audio editing scene, don't be fooled

! Their new X2 CPUs are totally controlling the scene, and their highend 64bit CPUs (3700 / 3800) are following very closely...

where's the question?
athelon kickass!
the semperon is for losers who know nothing about computers or buisnesses.

i have decided i will take celeron on 775 slot because i can upgrade it with INTEL Pentium D 830 3.0 GHz, 2x1 Mb c., LGA 775, BUS 800 MHz, Prescott, EM64T, Dual Core, BOX

and i cant find a sempron on 939 so i can upgrade

If you can get your hands on any AMD it will be cheaper and run much cooler (almost 1/2 the heat)! Plus with AMD, on any of the Socket939 boards, you can go up to the X2 (dual core) processor with runs faster than Intel's competitor chip and again 1/2 the heat..

If you have to go with Intel, than you must .. but I would hate to see you fall to the dark side

ok but intel allso have a dual core cpu

INTEL Pentium D 830 3.0 GHz, 2x1 Mb c., LGA 775, BUS 800 MHz, Smithfield,
EM64T, Dual Core, BOX

price betwine this two procesor AMD 64 and Intel i 2:1

the new FX60 kicks ass.. but if you can wait a bit and see what the AM2 socket has in store as its got a longer life span then socket 939

I know that Intel has a dual-core cpu to compete, but it isn't as fast, and produces over 2x the heat that AMDs dual-core cpu does! Ontop of that, it costs less to go with AMD. It's crazy to go with Intel right now!

Squall is right, the new FX60 cpu rocks, and is single-core as well! It's faster than some of AMDs dual-core cpus! LOL!
