Hi guys.. I don't really have the time to post here but i was hoping that y'all can help me.. I'm looking for a processor for my new computer thats coming soon.. I was doing some research about it through the net and I came across something I liked.. But I can't make out head or tail for this.. Can you help me?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+
AM2/512KB/X2/2600MHz/2000MHz/Dual/89W

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
AM2/1MB/X2/2600MHz/2000MHz/Dual/89W

What exactly is the processor speed for both? If someone can explain what all that means, I'll be extremely grateful..
Thanks in advance..

Technically around 4.something, but AMD claim they run at around 5 lol

The AMD Athlon X2 5200+ is a 'lil bit better, it use 1MB cache, the other only 512KB, so it's a little bit faster.

Is the processor speed 5.2gHz (5200+)?

A tip of advice. Processor speed doesnt mean shit.

An Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 @ 1.86 GHz is better than that Athlon X2 5200+ at 4. whatever Ghz

Go for the Core 2's. Simple as that.

Dude.. AMD Athlon X2 series IS dual core.. It's AMD's equivalent to Intel's Core 2 Duo..

BTW, A 4200+ processor can be overclocked to a 5000+...

You need a kick ass cooling system to overclock your comp.. Even then it's highly unstable..

They are booth running with 2.6 ghz but as torekk says the 5200+ has 1 mb cache so its better at the end.
