Processor (CPU) for a Business PC
Since this computer is used mainly for business applications, you do not need a top of the line processor. Instead you can choose from Intel’s and AMD’s more application focused processors.
Within Intel there are several classes of CPUs, including the Celeron series and P4 series. For us, regular users we will only need a Celeron class CPU. To get even more detailed, each class of CPUs have clock speeds measured in Gigahertz (GHz). Faster speeds equals better performance. For our basic setup we only need a Celeron 2.26 GHz (B0002735E4).
If you want to go with AMD, take a look at their Sempron series. A Sempron 2400+ (B0002XGJLY) will provide performance and price similar to an Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz.
