angel0104 Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 which would you recommend? a Pentium 4 3e or Pentium 4 2.8 LGA 775?
DiGGiTY Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 The P4 3e (Prescott core) will benchmark higher than the P4 2.8 (Northwood core). Comparing to AMD the P4 3e performs like an Athlon 64 3000+/3200+ while the P4 2.8 compares with the 2700+.Also, the Prescott core is the future, whereas Northwood will eventually be discontinued. I'd go for the P4 3e. If the price difference is bugging you, look at AMD.
XPerties Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I agree with what DiGGiTY said excluding going with AMD, yuck.
puntoMX Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 I agree with what DiGGiTY said excluding going with AMD, yuck. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>We start an iNTEL AMD WAR! again? B) AMD for me here LOLAny way, I would go for the socket 775 Pentium also i.s.o. the "old" 478 socketed model, altrough I thought it uses more expensive DDR2 RAM.
