I found the 2800+ on newegg for 120. Im happy...

But the clock speed of the AMD Athlon 2800+ is a lot slower than the clock speed you could get with an Intel CPU of the same price.

heres a small question i got, whats the best of the processors?

in relation to its clock speed?

Well, it depends. Like, for a desktop computer, or for a notebook computer? And at what kind of price?

[awesomegamer]

desktop,

around the average prices $600-$1000

I meant like what kind of price range for the CPU. Because the overall value of some CPUs are the same due to the price range.

The cheapest pentium 4 I can find is a 2.26GHz for 125.99. They dont MAKE pentium 4's with less speed than that, and I dont need a processor with that much. My 2800 with 2.08 is just 104 (checked). Big speed difference there, and the 2.28 was the same price as the pent. 4 at 125.49

Then I suggest the 2.28GHz Pentium 4. It is a bit pricier, but it will be worth it.

i nderstand now, its because the total price of a computer includes different things than just the CPU. so whats a fair deal on a CPU? if i got a good amount of money and all different types cost the same, which is likely to be the best?

Currently, $200 should get you a 3.2-4GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor with Hyper-Threading Technology. But you might want to wait it out for a few months and take a look at the new Pentium D that's coming out. So far, Acer, Dell, and Alienware have signed up with Intel to use the Pentium Ds.

i think dell is good but i rather DIY!!!!!!!!!

[Desperro]

Dell is kewl, best thing what i like about it is that they aer cheaper and more silent vents

[Ruze]

If I had enough cash I'd definately go with Alienware computers, maybe after I get a job I'll get one....hmmm....Oh well

I currently use a Fujitsu Lifebook (tablet PC).

I once considered making my own desktop, went for a tablet pc instead.

Dell and HP are both crap for the sold reason that they are hard to work with. I was trying to upgrade one and the hard drive was in the back of the case on the side. That diddnt make any sense... And it was too cramped to begin with. They dont wire for crap either. Its just one tangled mess.

Apple > All

 

ok. that's all.
