poopipe Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Semprons suck. they have next to no L2 cache which makes for shite 3d performance - the intel on the other hand has lots of L2 cache.in both cases you'll have trouble with games from the last couple of years because the intel graphics card uses shared video memory. For that money you won't find anything new with a proper graphics cardOut of those two go with the intel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Don’t listen to what people say......dells are quoted as one of the best laptop and desktop PC manufacturers around!But there are a lot of other manufacturers about - Sony is high in my book if you can stretch to £900 =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
