What kind of processor should you get for running large programs that would keep the computer fairly cheap?

Any of the major manufacturers; AMD processors such as a Sempron of the Athlon. Intel Pentium 4 etc..
The performance of any computer and hence it's software, benefit from having adequate memory installed. This is almost as important as the processor that's used.
Go for at least 512MB of memory. Most motherboards these days only support DDR memory, which is fast than SD RAM.
i think stick with p4 for that one because amd works allot better with games than large programs like image editing and mp3 encoding and do't listen to the rumours that the p4 fans die out all fans die out eventually

AMD Athlon 64. Go for 2+gHz, x2 (dual core). AMD processors are cheaper but just as good if not better than Intel. You just pay for the cheap 1 cent Intel sticker if you go for Intel. If you want Intel, that's okay too.
FAN IT TO THE MAX!!! Fans are cheap! Buy them!
I would suggest the Intel core 2 duo, comes cheap and delivers what you expect!!!!Frankly, I would go for one of the pentiums, maybe the Pentium 4 CPU. It's cheap, you can get 20 on eBay for $50 dollars, it's common, so you can just find a cheap motherboard that has a 775 socket. It's not as bad as Celeron or Atom, and it's not as expensive or ultra-powerful as the i3/i5/i7 CPUs. But, if you want one that is also cheap, but is more in the 64-bit range, go for a cheap 604 socket Xeon. SeanHolshouser

Does it matter how cheap your processor is for your computer is?
Yes it matters. if you want to use a computer for graphics then you need a fairly large processor. if you want to do games you need a big processor. if you want to upgrade your OS someday then you need to have a good processor. Also, the size of your processor effects your speed.
How important is computer hardware to the computer system?
That depends on what you plan on doing on the computer system, if you plan on running taxing programs, like games or graphic modeling programs, then computer hardware is extremely important, on the other hand if you are only intrested in surfing the internet and writing word documents then computer hardware is fairly unimportant.
What is best credit card processor to outsource to?
TSYS is a fairly reputable processor.
What type of pc shoudl I programmer have?
You need a fairly fast computer in order to compile long and complex programs. If you are working with 3D then you will surely need a newer faster computer.
How do you convert a casett in CD?
You should have a fairly sophisticated tape deck with RCA plugs, and try plugging the output into the back of your computer at the input. Then use your recording feature on the computer in your programs.
What do you need in a new computer?
It all depends on what you are going to use it for. If you are going to use it for gaming, then you would probably want a computer with a fairly big hard drive. Also a fairly good ram. If you just want it for everyday, basic, office type uses you would want a good processor and lots of hard drive space. Ask me on my message board if you want information on a computer to do different things.
Would you recommend an hp laptop computer?
I would not recommend an HP laptop computer. They are fairly user friendly, however they are not very reliable. The battery life of these laptops are poor, and the life itself of the computer is short. After about a year or two, you definitely see the processor working a lot slower and it makes using this computer more difficult to use, the older it gets.
What are the chances of me running into a female vampire?
Fairly slim.
What is the minimum age to be a computer programmer?
Computer programming has not been around for very long, but I would be that some Mozart-like geniuses will write a program when they are 4 or 5 if that has not already been done. Surely ten-year-olds can learn to write simple programs and there are a lot of 15-year olsd that write fairly sophisticated programs.
Why not design a single really powerful processor?
It depends on what kind of processor you are talking about. If you are talking about a CPU, the main processor in a computer, the reason for multiple cores and not a single very processor is a fairly simple answer. Imagine you have a toll booth (the CPU), with a number of lanes (cores in the CPU). In real life the technology only exists to build a toll booth of a certain size. So what happens? You build more lanes and add more toll booths. That is basically the reason for building multiple cores.
How important is it to have hard drive recovery tools installed on a home computer?
It is fairly important to have hard drive recovery tools installed on a home computer. This is especially important if someone has very important files or programs on their home computer that they cannot afford to lose if the system crashes or a virus erases the hard drive.
What are the qualification to own a small business system?
There are no qualifications that are set in stone for the task of running a small business computer system. Always good if you have a background in IT but if you are a quick learner most tasks computer related are fairly easy once a bit of research is done.
