Thanks in advance.
PC 2 would be the best choice in my opinion. The AMD processors usually outperform Intel processors. Planning on gaming? Both are dual core, and the AMD even has more GHZ. Not to mention it's cheaper! Smile

I second that. Thats a no-brainer.
Hi William.

Well I think you should go for Intel its better and have good functionality.
Thanks.
AMD processors are more efficient and that particular processor is faster. In addition there is a $102 savings on that particular system!!! Like I said, its a no-brainer. The only disadvantage is that the other has a larger cache.
I agree again... Stick with the AMD! Smile
