A Processor or a CPU is shot for "Central Processing Unit" and is also known as a processor. The job of a CPU is to process the majority of functions and instructions from the computer (sound and video cards can process specific graphic and video instructions). It is best the get the fastest and latest CPU processing structure because this means it can process the computer's instructions at a faster rate. The speed of a CPU is recorded in MHz. Basically when buying a PC it is best to find the fastest motherboard and CPU, these are the most important components. Visit the two shops below for a range of computer CPU's / Processors from companies such as AMD and Intel, who make brands of CPU's / Processors such as the Duron and Celeron.
The two largest manufacturers of CPU's for domestic computers are Intel and AMD.
Intel is behind everything from the fastest processor in the world to the cables that power high-speed Internet. Year founded: 1968 ; Number of employees: 80,000 ; Revenues: $26.5 Billion (2001) ; Products and services: over 450 ; Stock symbol: INTC ; Fortune 500 ranking: 41 ; Worldwide offices: 45.
AMD is a global supplier of integrated circuits for the personal and networked computer and communications markets. AMD produces microprocessors, flash memory devices, and support circuitry for communications and networking applications. The company's products allow users to access, process, and communicate information at ever-greater speeds and low costs.

Since AMD started seriously competing with Intel in the late 1990's I have always bought them. Mainly because they are much cheaper, and in my opinion faster. Anyone buying an Intel is a fool in my eyes, they only get their processors in most machines by giving the major manufacturers a back hander. The AMD Athlon 64 is the latest CPU i have purchased, I have so far had no problems with the processor. As usual the installation was very straightforward and if you have basic computer hardware building skills there is nothing you have to worry about. Whats great about AMD cpu's is the ability to overclock them, and my processor is overclocked to 2.25 GHz on turbo mode. Of you really do need alot of cooling for the processor to overclock it to this degree. The heatsink is not suitable to cool it at that frequency. It's worked excellently with games such as FarCry.

As fast as a grey hound on speed and the price is just too low not to buy it. I was weighing up whether to get the Intel Celeron (P4 just too much money) but reviews I read in pc magazines said the AMD Athlon was a much better processor and I found Athlon MP 2800+ at a cheaper price to equivalent Celeron processor. The AMD Athlon is easy to fit and I've no problems with it for the last 3 days after installation. XP is running super quick now and games such as Jedi Outcast look superb. Definitely the best choice if you want top performance and too save some cash.

Pentium Xeon 1.8A 512Kb
I needed a processor for website server and the Intel Xeon processor is designed for high-performance workstation and server applications. Based on the new Intel NetBurst micro-architecture, it is binary compatible with previous Intel Architecture processors. The Intel Xeon processor extends the power of the Intel Pentium III Xeon processor with new features designed to make this processor the right choice for powerful workstation and advanced servers. Performance of the Pentium Xeon configuration is very good, as expected, after looking at all the top of the line components that we’ve used in evaluating it. Its added advantage is the management features, enabling system administrators to keep a close eye on CPU performance, temperature, etc. For someone like me who is responsible for over 100 websites on my server it has worked very well.
