Which Processor should I buy: Intel Quad Core 2.5Ghz or Intel Core 2 Duo 2.9 Ghz?
- by Kryten
Hi,
I am looking at buying a desktop and have narrowed down my choices to 2 machines with exactly the same specs, but different CPU's.
Machine 1 CPU: Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q8300 (4M Cache, 2.50 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
Machine 2 CPU: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E7500 (3M Cache, 2.93 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
I plan on using the PC for the following:
Music Playing
Software Development
Virtual Machine Running
Gaming
"General Work"
Which CPU would better suit the job?
