1) For typical desktop use, is it more sensible to buy a six-core 2,5GHz processor, or a dual-core 3,6GHz? In other words, should I prefer more cores, or higher clock speed?
My preferences for a gaming computer would be fewer, faster cores. For a desktop work, web, music, movies - everything but games on one machine, I would go with the more cores but still not go slower than 2.5 Ghz. I always have many things running at once when I am doing anything other than a game so more cores and a 64 bit OS are handy. For many games the performance can be limited by the processor speed and few (if any?) are written to use more than 2 cores anyway. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
