If you have any other ideas plz let me know

Hi robert,

I recomend the Intel bundle...

You'll get more performance then the AMD.

I gotta disagree.

The X2 4600+ Killed intel's extreme edition when it first came out and the 4200 is a plenty powerful cpu.

The prescott CPU's were power hungry and hot.

I'd go with with AMD but I guess it's personal preference.

Had it been the Core2Duo I'd have been different.

Here's a few comparison benchmarks taken from X-Bit labs as you can see the AMD 3600 X2 beats the Pentium D 915 in benchmarks and clearly the 4200 is better.






Remember though, with either you may need new RAM, preferably DDR2

AMD won't need DDR2

Only the Intel...which is why i suggested it - upgradeability

And the performance difference isn't THAT much...infact wouldn't be noticable in games :P

ahh see i dont have a lot of money to get new ram i can only use my old one wicth is

Kingston 1GB DDR PC2700 333MHz Non-ecc CL2.5 Memory Module

shown here
Kingston 1GB DDR Memory - Cheap at Ebuyer!

so does that mean that the intel is not the one for me

It's an AM2 socket motherboard which only supports DDR2 (It was the older 940 and 939 that supported DDR1) you will need DDR2 with either of those.
