Processor AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1 GHz - $189Read more
I bet you never would have guessed that I would choose an AMD processor, eh?Well, anyway, there is a particular reason that I chose THIS processor from the bunch. With the most recent price drop we have seen this processor drop to under $200 across the board. Most gamers and PC enthusiasts drool at the potential of having 1000 MHz in their personal system and AMD has brought the dream home. There are other options for processors, including the 1.1 and 1.2 GHz models as well as those slower and the Duron line. My thinking shows that the 1+ GHz processors price/performance ratio has a severe degradation after we pass up the 1 GHz line. Does that mean that 1.2 GHz doesn't perform better? Not at all, just that perhaps the speed increase isn't worth the extra money.
