Title: Processor speed
Post by: Ph33r on April 05, 2007, 06:01:26 AM: Hi guys.. I don't really have the time to post here but i was hoping that y'all can help me.. I'm looking for a processor for my new computer thats coming soon.. I was doing some research about it through the net and I came across something I liked.. But I can't make out head or tail for this.. Can you help me?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
AM2/512KB/X2/2600MHz/2000MHz/Dual/89W

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
AM2/1MB/X2/2600MHz/2000MHz/Dual/89W

What exactly is the processor speed for both? If someone can explain what all that means, I'll be extremely grateful..
Thanks in advance..

An Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 1.86 GHz is better than that Athlon X2 5200+ at 4. whatever Ghz

Go for the Core 2's. Simple as that.

Post by: Link on April 08, 2007, 01:27:46 AM: They are booth running with 2.6 ghz but as torekk says the 5200+ has 1 mb cache so its better at the end.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
AM2/1MB/X2/2600MHz/2000MHz/Dual/89W"

It says right there!!!! "2600MHz" thats 2.6GHz for both of the processors, the 5200+ is a bit faster though because its sporting the 1MB L2 cache VS the 512KB on the 5000+

clock speeds dont mean much...
Overclocking is not always unstable

I overclocked my Opteron 165 from 1.8GHz to 3.0, perfectly stable. Stock cooling too.

but my 1.8GHz opteron is still better than anyones 3.6Ghz Pentium 4

Post by: DeathCobra on April 12, 2007, 04:00:59 PM: Core 2 Duo pwns the Athlon X2s hands down. But if your stuck with a AMD motherboard, than the 2nd option there is the best, has a bigger cache.

Post by: Ph33r on April 13, 2007, 10:38:00 PM: Why DOES the Core 2 Duo series pwn AMD anyway? Everybody says that.. But for me, AMD has a better value for money..
