hey this isn't a firewar between the two i just had a quesion. Which one is cheaper. More in the A64 or P4 HT series which is cheaper. I am building a computer for a friend between 800-1000. Wha ti'm thinking is he will keep his old cd-rom/burner and harddrive. Get some corsair ram. an antec power suply and asus motherboard. and then a a64 or p4 HT processor but i figure sine he is on a "semi-budge" i will go with what is cheaper for now. And depending on the price of the 7800GT when the 7900GT comes out maybe pick up that. He wants this computer to be able to run oblivion fairly well. I'm not sure if he wants top top top the best but i don't think he does... i mean if he can yea.

so back to my original question haha. P4 HT or A64 is chaper? i don't think he needs dual core haha.

Well.....

There's high end Processors, and Low end processors for each. It depends on your CPU budget as to which would be better. Name a CPU budget, and I'll find you the best CPU in that range :) :) :)

The heat thing, I'll get bitched at if I answer, so I'm gunna shhh.
 
how about medium end for pentium and a64 :-p then which one generates more heat ... maybe if you know from a review?? as of now i'm thinking 800-1000 for the set and corsair xms 1 gig but that's all i know (antec psu i'll choose that next period (i'm in school)) and then you'll know what is taken... but beyond that all i need is mobo (100$) , cpu and video card... and i can't chose mobo before i choose video

i KNOW this will be an air cooled system and non-oc and probably used as a home computer for a computer "illiterate" person who uses it for mild/high gaming mostly mild.. i say high becuase he'll play some new gmaes (oblivion for examle is what it's "for" besides as a college computer as well)
