SuperSparks--Thanks for the response.
Do you have a preference for AMD or Intel, Jim?
I really do not know enough to answer that now. I could of course Google to learn more, but I would appreciate guidance.
My present PC has an Intel chip. My earlier (first and departed) PC had AMD. Both seemed fine to me.
Does my first post give you any ideas whether one or the other would be better to suit my needs? I am not a gamer. And, as mentioned, price is fairly far down the list of criteria. I keep being amazed that AMD is still in business.
