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.

AMD Athlon 64
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.
