New PC
 
Hello to all,

I've been offered a new pc by my insurance company and would like your input and thoughts. The pc is as follows,
Advent T9208
3.4GH intel D 945 processor 800hz FSB
500GB Hard drive
DVD multi format dual layer re-writer
512mb NVIDIA Geforce 7300se card
Windows media centre with TV tunner.

Now the issue I've got is that I can take this or the one below :confused:

Advent T9307
1.8GH E6300 intel core 2 duo 1GB FSB
250GB hard drive
DVD multi format dual layer re-writer
256mb NVIDIA card
Windows media centre with TV Tuner

Any opions welcome.

Thanks:confused:

The top one has a better spec :)

I'd personally go for the E6300 machine, as those chips have great overclocking possibilities and are very quick at standard clock speeds.

is it how do you work that out? you dont even know what the gfx is in the second one and id favour a c2d over the D900 series anyday.See if you can pay the extra 20 or 30 quid to upgrade the cpu to the 6400
Find out what graphics are in the second one the 7300 in the first is rubbish

What, you'd get 3.4GHz out of it?

The first machine has the better specs. Full stop.

That means nothing you getting pulled in. The e6300 will overclock very easily and be able to easily out perform the D945 even at stock

It would appear so :angel:

Hey people,

Would the FSB make any differance to the performance?? Sorry if it's a silly question but I have no idea.

Cheers

im sorry but I cant believe you posted this. Surely you realise the megahertz war is over. High clock does not mean faster anymore. My conroe E6600 clocks in at 2.4 gig stock and will urinate on the P945 or any other cpu other than the higher clocked conroes

Don't get fooled by the clock speeds, the E6300 is the latest technology and can out performs older CPU's that have higher clock speeds.

Alright, boyo. ;) I don't consider myself a complete n00b, but I definitely don't have an interest in overclocking. To be honest, even with the small amount of video processing I do, it'd make little difference. :)

Thats also untrue as the C2D's multimedia is one of its strongest points

Er.. right, okay. What does the OP plan to do with his system? Probably reading his emails, listening to MP3s and MSNing his mates. Processing power probably isn't so important either way, nor graphics...

(Although graphic is something to look at for Vista, obviously.)
