What do Pentium and athlon-class desktop computers use?

The only difference between the two is the processor that they use and the company that makes them AMD(anthlon) and Intel(pentium). Although the brand shouldn't make much of a difference when shopping for computers you should pay close attention to the hertz/gigahertz (processing speed) that the processors have which will determine the overall speed and capability of the computer. Expect computers to have any where from 1.00(painfully slow) to 5.00+ gigahertz(super computer) of processing power and for the price to go up accordingly.
