"whats best"

whats best pentium 4 with hyper threading technolgy (800 mhz front side bus) and 512 dual channel ddr ram or 2.8 (533 mhz bus) with 1024 dual channel ddr ram help me choose please wise peeps

i can afford 2.6 p4 with 1024 ddr dual chnnel ram or 3 gig and 512 ddr dual chaanel ram

In my opinion, above 512mb, faster is always better than more.

It all depends on what you use the computer for, if you use it for a lot of graphically intesive work then more ram will benafit but if you use it for hyperthreading and video conversion then the HT chips will be best, i would go for the HT chip and 1024 ram if you can.

The one with the biggest t*ts then


Or just pretend that they're identical and pick one at random - you have as much chance of noticing any difference in performance as your average Goldfish would have.

both about the same price

Whichever one is cheapest

The one with HT because of the faster memory bus.
