What processor do I need?
I do no gaming. Mostly office apps, web browsing, and lots of photo editing.
I now have a 432 K6-2 and except for working with photographs it’s doing reasonably well but it takes forever to edit pictures.
Right now there are some very inexpensive Celleron based systems available (HP system with monitor for $500 at Wal-Mart for example) but I am not at all impressed with the three-year-old Celleron I use at work. I am leaning towards a 2G P-4. Do I need the new HT technology or is that just hype. How about the AMD processors. How do they compare to P-4s?
