or maybe this cpu?

bear in mind i want to keep prices down, if the second one is supported is it worth going with that over the first one?

sorry for noob question but im not sure on the TDP of it and all that jazz.

would be for a htcp im gonna build for my dad for everything he does for me

It takes the 5200 but can't see the 2nd one!

cheers, which cpu do you think is best to go for out of that lot with a price limit of around £45?

Rough comparison:

ok thanks a bunch for that, i think i will get the athlon 2 if budget allows

EDIT: on the subject of mitx would be best to go for this or go for some core 2 duo mitx on fleabay on the cheap?

which one is the better performer?

No probs

That will depend on the cpu used, the best bet is have a look around and use the Andantech link to compare a the various cpu's, least this will give a rough idea on performance.

cheers, will do that
