Review : Budget CPU that packs a punch
My old computer had a Pentium 4 CPU so it was time for me to build a new computer. This processor isn't quite as powerful as the i3 etc but it's a lot cheaper. In fact it seems to be 15 times faster than my last computer.

If I was playing the latest games on the market then I'd probably need a more expensive quad core CPU and a separate GPU. As it is, I just write software, browse the web, email, play the occasional game and quite enjoy a game of chess or two. I just use the onboard graphics though I might splash out and get a GPU in the future.

I'm very happy with it.
