Processor
The “brain” of the computer is the CPU – central processing unit. The speed of the processor is measured in MHz (Megahertz) or GHz. The higher the number the faster the processor are made by Intel or AMD. Intel makes the Pentium range with recent CPUs being the Pentium III, Celeron and Pentium _4 and core 2. Celerons should be avoided now and at present core 2 is too expensive. Pentium 4 is available in speeds ranging from 500Mhz – 1Ghz. AMD make the Athlon and Duron range, both, which seem to offer good value for money. The Athlon is comparable to the Pentium III and the Duron to the Celeron chip. The Athlon range is from 500Mhz to 1.2Ghz.
