They're both "suitable" depending upon the load you're going to be generating, you will benefit greatly from the Dual Core option however.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 15/10/2007, <b class="gmail_sendername">

<div>the choice is "AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+", or "AMD Athlon 64 3700+" , is either of 'em suitable to run UT3 Demo on ?</div>
