Which of these processors is best?

[dbake24]

I'm picking out a new computer and needed some input. I'm leaning toward this one- AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core 3600+

but this one is $20 cheaper- Pentium® D Processor 935 with Dual Core Technology (3.2GHz, 800FSB)
Is there really a big difference?

im not quite sure but i think the X2s are better then the Pentium Ds. The X2s are really cheap right now, i recommend at least going for an X2 4000+ or perhaps slightly higher. Get them while there cheap and still available.

I'd go with the AMD.

Thanks guys! One more question- Is 1g really a better deal than 512mb? Is it a performance booster?

Absolutely. 1024MB>512MB

Obviously. Things run smoother.
