Hi,
I'm looking to get a new base unit within the next week or two. I've been to two local independent computer shops and they've given me quotes for a base unit. One is built around an AMD processor and the other is Intel.
The first is an AMD X245 Athlon Dual Core 64bit CPU on an Asrock N68C-S UCC AM2/3 motherboard with 2GB DDR2 memory, onboard 256MB graphics, 250GB Sata Hard Disk, two 24x DVD Double Layer rewriter drive, Windows 7 Professional CD and licence. Black/Silver midi case. The price for this unit is £368 (or £378 if i want a 500GB Hard Disk)
The second is an Intel Celeron Dual Core E3300 2.5Ghz CPU on a Foxconn G41MX-F motherboard with 2GB DDR2 memory, onboard 256MB graphics, 250GB Sata Hard Disk, two 24x DVD Double Layer rewriter drive, Windows 7 Professional CD and licence. Black/Silver midi tower case. The price for this unit is £345.
I'm so confused with the processors and their speeds, that I would like to ask you guys which is the better one? How do these two CPUs compare? Which unit would you get?
Would appreciate any info/advice received. Thanks in advance.
