Purchasing a processor is an important consideration when building or buying computer. Below we have listed several considerations and additional information about what to ask and look for when purchasing a processor directly or already installed into a computer. The type of processor can be very important consideration for users who are building a computer. The type of processor is not much as important as the compatibility with the motherboard. Today there are three main processor manufactures AMD, Cyrix and Intel. Each of these companies have a good and bad reviews and really each them are very closed in compatibility and reliability. When considering any of the above companies product ensure that a motherboard that is compatible with the product is also purchased. For example if an Intel motherboard is purchased or currently installed into the computer you will want to consider an Intel processor. Below is a listing of the other consideration to look at when purchasing the processor once the type of the processor has been determined.

Heat sink
It is highly recommended that all processor have a heat sink. The Heat sink helps to allow for the processor to remain cool and therefore run more efficiently. A computer processor with a missing, bad or failing heat sink will cause the computer to look up, cause errors or encounter other issue.
When looking at a processor consider also that will be attached to that processor and ensure that processor has being purchased is compatible with that heat sink.

Interface
Today there is a wide availability of types of interfaces the CPU may connect to. Below is a listing of each of the interfaces and a brief description on each of them.

a. Slot A
The slot was first used and introduced by Intel when they released the platinum II processors. This slot was designed to allow users to easily install the processor into the computer. However because of the additional cost considerations Intel has now gone back to the socket what is now known as the FC-PGA socket. Computers that have the slot are the Intel Pentium II and early versions of the Intel Pentium III. The AMD processors use the Slot A interfaces.

b.Socket FC-PGA flip Chip Coppermine
The socket is overall the most commonly used and found type of interface today. The socket has been used install Intel processors precending the Intel pentium II and is now being used for the Intel Pentium III and above processor with the name FC-PGA which is short for field-programmable gate array. The FC-PGA is a socket and not a slot processor and is also known as the Intel Coppermine on the Flip Chip.

c.Slocket
Slocket which is a slot card which can be used to connect for a socket or FPGA processor. This is not an actual interface however can be an option for users who have a slot adapter with a computer that supports speeds of a socket or FPGA processor. When looking at the interface of CPU it must match that of what is on the motherboard unless it is possible to use a slocket.

Names
The names of the processor can be very confusing and are generally used as a method of helping to sell a computer or computer processor. Below is a listing of some of the more commonly used names and a brief description on each of them.

Intel family names:
Pentium – The 80586 or P5 the Pentium is generation above the 486 processor line.
Pentium Pro – Chip designed to help speed up Window 32-bit software
Pentium with MMX – Processor with additional 57 new instructions and enhanced speed to graphic and multimedia software. MMX is now included in all Intel processor that have been released after this processor.
Pentium II/III – the first of the Intel processors to include the slot adapters. These processor were the next generations of the Intel Pentium processor.
Intel Copper mine – The socket (FC-PGA) version of the Intel Pentium III/IV.
Intel flip Chip – Another name for the Intel Coppermine.
Intel Celeron – The low end Intel processors designed to help the lower prices of the computers by reducing or at first eliminating the level 2 cache.
Pentium IV – The next generation of Intel processors, these processor were over 1 GHz and were the FPGA processors.

AMD family names:
AMD k6-2 – Socket 7processor with 3D now! technology and first to have the 100MHz bus.
AMD K6-3 – K6-2 chip with level 2 cache memory that runs at the speed of the CPU.
AMD DURON – Like the Intel Celeron the AMD Duron is an affordable solution processor allowing the price in the overall computer to drop.
AMD ATHLON – AMD generation with features such as the 200MHz bus speed.
AMD Thunderbird – The latest AMD processor this processor is the socket version.

SPEED
The speed of the processor is an important consideration as it is what will rate the speed of the computer and help the computer run faster overall. When looking at the speed of the processors available we highly recommend that you not purchase or consider purchasing a processor that has just been released. The price of the processor will be at a premium price and if you give that processor 2-4 months it will drop in price dramatically.
