    What will get the most bang for the buck? I'm having a hard time choosing what to use.
    I need it for college. So it will be a work horse. and would like it to last 4 years. not much of a gamer either. loads of music and movies. Blu ray!

    AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz ($89.99 USD)

    AMD Athlon X2 7850 Black Edition Kuma 2.8GHz ($69.00 USD)

    Intel Pentium E5200 ($69.99 USD)

    Intel Pentium E5300 ($79.99 USD)

    Intel Pentium E6300 ($84.99 USD)

    Bang for buck, probably the E5200, as it overclocks well. The Athlon X2 will be more futureproof, but I doubt faster in most scenarios.

    The one that I end up getting will be paired up with 4BG of ddr2, also vista x64... Maybe Win 7 when it comes out. some Asus board and witch one will work best?


    Oh yeah, No OVERCLOCKING will be done.......
