I got the 4400+ actually. The 4200+ would have been £60 cheaper.



The dual-core Intel CPU's are actually cheaper at the moment, and might be worth considering if you favour Intels. But they aren't as technically advanced as AMD dual-cores and don't do as well in performance tests. Personally, I don't really get why folks either love one brand over the other - I just choose what is the best CPU at the time, determined by objective reviews. Last time I chose Intel, this time I went for AMD. Both firms make superb CPU's, and it's frankly ridiculous why some people always claim that one make or the other is the spawn of the devil

This is always a good place to start when choosing a CPU:
