Hi All,

I'm planning to assemble a desktop on my own. I dont want it to be a very high end, expensive machine. Its just something that I need for daily use and for playing a bit :)

I am not really up-todate with the latest CPUs around in the market and would like to know which series should I be looking at. Also how should I decide to choose AMD / Intel processor.

As far as the processor is concerned here's what I've decided so far

1. 32 bit
2. L1 cache 32kb (what do the mean when they say 32kb + 32kb ?)
3. L2 cache 2 MB (atleast)
I could find intel processors in 32 bit range but could not find any AMD athlon 32 bit processor. Does AMD have a different series for that ?

Your help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Makarand
 
LOL size of cache is irrelavant when you are comparing different architectures. What is ur budget? Thats the important thing? The best deals right now are the core 2 duo cpus.
