my cousin is buying it right now and I said the 1st choise.... i can give him a call if the other one is better. He wants it just for homework and durability.

yeah i would build mine, but my cousin is in california and me in nevada, and does not know how to make one. Also i told him that q6600 is better than phenom 9500 2.2....thats right, right?Link2legends

The Q6600 is a great deal better.

If your cousin is interested in building his computer, there are tons of guides on the Internet. It's far easier than it looks.

I second that :lol:

Can't see the first link, anyway i would be careful with a 24'' monitor, running 19*12 will be very demanding. The other one is 17'', how about a compromise with 19'' 1440*900 or 20/22'' 1680*1050? ;)X360PS3AMD05

It's not very demanding to render Word at any resolution. This guy isn't going to be playing games.

well someone just about 20 mins ago told my cousin that a phenon 9500 is faster than a q6600 i checked diff sites and it seems that they are pretty close to one another, the last site i went to is tomhardware and it says that the q6600 is better. The first desktop with the q6600 has wifi, wireless mouse/keyboard. The guy that works in circuit city says that the phenon 9500 is better, it doesnt come with wifi, and has wired mouse/keyboard.

the price difference is 20$ at the store, the q6600 is 20$ more and the phenon is 20$ less. Im telling him go for the q6600 and i mean it does come with wifi, and it is just 20$.

what do youguys think? everything else is the same, HD,RAM, dont think the mobo is. but price diff is 20$
