I am planning to make an AMD based system. Can someone suggest the adv/disadv of taking an Athlon II vs Phenom II based system. I find that Athlon II is cheaper. What is given by Phenom II for the extra price.
My requirements:
I dont do lot of gaming. My typical usage is 50% multimedia. 30% normal usage (office, internet, etc). 20% programming using virtual computer.
I am willing to compromise on speed. I am not willing to compromise on feature set... For example, I am not willing to loose some feature like SSE4a or hardware virtualisation.
Can someone suggest what do i loose out if I choose athlon II over Phenom II.
