I was wondering what are the opinions about using a first gen Phenom X3 and X4 for a computer building business.
I have clients who come in with old Celeron D and Athlon MP Emachines that are looking for an upgrade.
I am an Intel man, yet I love AMD for what they bring to the table
basically I have pondered on giving my clients a Sempron 140 with DDR3 Memory or a Phenom X4 9150e with DDR2.
The first gen Phenoms can be had for cheap these days and sport 3 or 4 cores even with their low clock speed.I still feel that they are good for most PC stuff and games that arent Crysis.
I like the Sempron 140 because of cheap DDR3 prices,yet its hard to convince people that 1 core may be better than 4 in some cases even though the 140 setup costs me a little less in the end.
Sempron 140 @ 2.7 VS 9150e at 1.8.
