The latest news is that AMD is coming out with a quad-core CPU (Athlon II X4) for under Php5,000. If consumers tend to upgrade their PCs every 18 months or so, we should be seeing at least dual cores in homes nowadays.
I’d like to know what processor type/speed you run at home — AMD or Intel?
Mine’s the ff.:
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
- AMD Athlon X2 7750 2.7GHz

How about yours?


AMD Athlon 7850 Black Edition 2.8GHz
I got this cheap Php 3,500 upgrade coming from my 2yr old Athlon 3800+ without changing mobos (after selling off my old proc, i ended up paying only 2.5k hehe).
Paired with a GTX 260, i run the latest games on decent settings. A better GPU will get you farther than getting the best CPU.
