What would be my best cpu?

[ulater6000]

What cpu should I get... these are all within my price range, and keep in mind I plan on doing no overclocking, so which one would offer the most gaming performance without overclocking?


*amd 3700+ socket 939
*Pentium 4 Presscott 3.2 ghz socket 478
*Pentium 4 Presscott 3.2 ghz socket 775
*Intel Pentium D 820 smithfield dual core socket 775
*amd opteron 148 venus 2.2ghz socket 939

Pentium D.

Its supposed to be a good alternative to an AMD athlon.

But if your mobo supports only AMD, for for the Athlon 3700

I'd say the 3700.

 

[iPod Man]

why not the new core duos

 

[Apokalipse]

why isn't there an Athlon 64 X2 3800+?

anyway, out of those, it would either be the Athlon 64 3700+ for mainly gaming, or the Pentium D for math/multitasking (though the X2 3800+ is better than the Pentium D)

 

[weemanpow3]

intel pentium D

 

[dawizhacker]

THE 3700+ all the way~!
It's cheap and powerful!

The people who voted for 3700+ are AMD fanboys. There is no way for 3700+ to be better than Pentium D.

The Pentium D is dual core processor, so it is much better for multitasking and multi-threaded applications. Most of todays games are multi-threaded, so the Pentium D should match or even beat 3700+ in new and future games.
