In my experience, the AMD's have better performance per cost. However they run a lot hotter. Heat tends not to be an issue in desktops because you can supply the correct cooling. I enjoy going to this site for comparisons. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an AMD it makes mes lean towards Intel it's difficult to think back in time on older systems why it would run slower than molasses. but the first thing that comes to mind is figuring out if something is eating up system resources. on any commercial PC like HP or Dell, you've got a bunch of factory loaded crapware and bloatware. get rid of all that nonsense. if you're comfortable enough with computers (and not afraid to void your warranty), download the latest Windows image from Microsoft and do a fresh install. Or if you're feeling adventurous, give Linux a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, if you're uncomfortable building a system, use something like letsbld.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSNBDSC Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Found the specs on my older computer that I went back to. https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-pavilion-p7-1200-desktop-pc-series/5187022/model/5210662/manuals I3 Win 7. Upgraded to Xp then 10. Still runs great. I think Win 10 causes alot of issues. Xp was the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
