I have included this information in many of my computer processor reviews and after some comments from some people I decided to put this out separately. i will just put a link to this whenever I write a processor review from now on.

HOW TO...
These are the seven most important questions I ask myself before I purchase processors or other parts for my computer:

1. How fast it is? (speed/frequency)
2. What is an appropriate speed for you?
3. How much is it?
4. How much should it cost?
5. What else do I need with it? (motherboard/memory/etc)
6. What do the benchmarks say? (similar brands and models)
7. Where to purchase it from? (online/offline)


1. The speed is important because that is the 90 percent of the reason I would even consider purchasing it. I want to know how it will increase the performance of my computer and what kind of applications or games will take full advantage of it. I want to know what this processor is specially designed for; games or applications?

2. Deciding how fast you want your computer to be is based on what you want to do with it. If you want to do lots of video/music editing, then you need the fastest processor you can get that is still in your budget. If you just want to play games, listen to music, and watch movies, then you need an average speed processor. If you are just going to surf the web or typing, then you need the cheapest processor possible.

3. The price is the second thing I look for when deciding on purchasing a processor because I want to know that I can afford it before I invest any more time in researching about it. I want to look at the MSRP and the retail price for online and offline stores that I can trust.
