witch is the better cpu

[koooowweeee]

as title

amd athlon 11 x2 245 (2.9 standard)

intel e6600 (2.4 standard)

ive got both cpu's and im building a computer for front room. i will clock them both but on stock fan on each so will not clock that far. not sure what boards there on but the amd one looks cheap and only has 2 mem slots

thanks for any help

 

[koooowweeee]

thanks for that. looks like there about the same. do you think the intel will clock a little better and make it pull ahead?

 

[koooowweeee]

what fan have you got on your e6400

 

[koooowweeee]

some good advice there thank you. the card ive got for the front room computer is a 5770.
so would just need a good board for clocking. i think its a 939 socket and it seems the price of them are going up. but with the 775 socket there cheap now.

ive got bacicly 2 set-ups but one will be for my sister to go on the net so either will do. should i sell the e6600 add a little and get a better cpu?

 

[koooowweeee]

i want the pc to play games witch it does at low res think the cpu is bottlenecking the hd5770

not to bothered about high res ive got another setup in my bedroom for that. just trying to get the best out of this one

in the amd now i have a hd5770 card and that ram. but ive swapped some stuff with a guy on another forum and im getting the e6600 and 2 x 1gb drr2 6400 geil.

so all together i have

amd board cpu and Corsair DDR2

e6600 BIOSTAR P35D2-A7 1x1gb ddr2

ati 5770 1gb and nvidia 6200le

and hdd and writers and case's

dont mind selling 1 lot add a (very) little to and get a better cpu


also sister is not bothered what she gets because its just for the internet and maybe the odd cd

 

[koooowweeee]

weres big wanye gone???

 

[koooowweeee]

amd board cpu and Corsair DDR2

e6600 BIOSTAR P35D2-A7 1x1gb ddr2 800mhz

ati 5770 1gb and nvidia 6200le

and hdd and writers and case's

thats it really.

i think that im better off selling the e6600 and getting something like a e8400.
the p35 board has more slots and should be better for clocking.

so really i need a better cpu and 2gb more ram. then ive got a good computer

 

[koooowweeee]

so computers will have

1
e6600 (sell buy a bit better one 8400)
BIOSTAR P35D2-A7
1x1gb ddr2 800mhz (upgrade to 4x1gb ddr2 800mhz)
hd 5770

sisters computer

ASUS M2N68-AM PLUS
AMD® Athlon™ II X2
2 x 1gb ddr2 677mhz
6200le


will check prices if the amd stuff is worth more ill sell them and buy newer stuff

 

[koooowweeee]

would keep the E6600 and get 2 x 2Gb of 800mhz RAM myself

oooohhh and treat your sis with 2 x 2Gb of 667 as well

ive already got 2x1 gb so to save alittle i would just get another 2x1gb

and not spending anymore on my sister shes a grown woman and can get her own ha ha
