I have seen AMD processors only get up to around 2.6GHz or something like that but they are around $400. And by the way, I was looking at
www.googlegear.com , which is a very nice site by the way. There was an Intel Pentium 4 3.06GHz (supposedly 3.06Ghz, hehe) for around $300 something I think. Hm, then again, it may also have been up in the $400s. I guess I'll go with a 2GHz or 2.1GHz AMD. Would that be pretty fast? Being a regular Intel customer (now thinking I have been betrayed), I usually thought their processors performed better. Eh, I am not so sure about that now. If you can give me some comparisons to AMD and Intel, I would appreciate that. By comparisons I mean this: AMD 2GHz processor performed -like this- against Intel 2.6GHz which performed -like this-. I suppose that the "false" 2.6GHz from Intel would actually run around 2.1GHz or something? I'm not as computer literate as you all, so I don't want to be shopping for a crappy computer when I can actually get an even better one for less.
I'll keep looking. I may post what I have thought about on a reply if you want, just to show you what I have been thinking about. Then you can give me suggestions if you wouldn't mind. Thanks everyone for all your help, it's kept me from deciding on purchasing a crappy system when I think I was getting the best!
