10 things Haiden wants to buy!!!

Dual-core processors are starting to become a thing of the past. To be a bit advanced with the processor world, you need to have at least the tri-core or quad-core. I am an AMD fan so I am using the AMD Athlon X2 5200+. Its an overclocked version of the 5200 which was only 2.6 ghz, mine is 2.7 ghz overclocked to 3.01 ghz. Since my motherboard is compatible with AMD phenom x3 and phenom 2 x4(tri and quad core processors), If i had extra money I would buy atleast the AMD phenom 2.3 ghz.

Friends say that upgrading from dual-core to tri-core does not make much difference. He has a point. Buying a phenom tri-core that has 2.3 ghz x 3 would be 6.9 total speed. In comparison to the dual core of 2.7 overclocked to 3.01 x 2 is about 6.0 processing speed. the difference between the 2 is not that significant but then, the price is. I bought my processor for around Php 3000 while the phenom that I want to buy is around twice the price. But a computer technician told me that having 3 cores is much better than 2 because it would be like 3 calculating at once. When I get to buy this chip, I will update you guys if there is really a signifant difference with the processing speed in my computer.
