I was looking at the specs...

the e2140 is 1.6GHz and FBS 800MHz

the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000 is 2.1GHz


Does that not make the AMD faster?


Thanks.



P.S.

I am not a pro by no means.... thats why I am asking for you guys help

nope... it means nothing... go look at a benchmark compaing them.. the new Core Archetecure uses low clock speeds and low power consumption... to make it run faster..

ok cool..... so you saying if I just use the intel processor & mothers that you specified, It would actually run faster than the AMD that was specified?


Cause I am more than willing to spend an extra $25.00 to go with better & faster.


Thanks Again....... I appreciate all your help

It is unlikely the average user will ever even notice whether his cpu is intel oor amd unless they put a sticker on the front of the case.

cool... thanks for that info Brinson..... I guess thats what I was worried about.... I have never had the opportunity to try AMD, so I guess I am little shy to that brand.

Thanks,

I never feel the difference between AMD and Intel unless I am gaming on a game which needs high spec.
