Processor?

[Dr. KillGood]

Well I am looking at processors and it says:

* Core
* Manila
* Orleans
* Santa Ana
* Windsor

What dose this mean? Wich one is best? Or dose it not matter?

[Skyone]

First off, it's does. ¬ ¬

And those are just family names for the AMD line. Except core. That's specifying how many cores the CPU has - single, dual, even quad.

[Dr. KillGood]

So it dosent matter what the name is?

First, no one is going to go and look up all of those names for you.

Second, just get the best processor you can afford from the newest lineup. For instance, all the AM2 socket processors are pretty much the same, all are very new.
