I am getting a second hand PC, my question is which would be better for gaming
1) Intel Celeron D 2.6 ghz or the AMD Athlon 64 3200
Don't you doubt: Athlon 64 3200+ is much faster than Celeron D 2.6 GHz. Just try to find some comparisons over the Internet.
better than both of them is duron .. it's unbelievable

I always thought that Intel processors were faster.
I'm a new gamer, so I'll have to look more into it
Thanks for the advice.

SuccessUniversity: Really? I think you're the prey of Intel's brainwashing "Intel Inside" program. I don't believe in all those crap like "Intel Inside" or nVidia's "The Way It's Meant To Be Played", I do believe in results of tests. That's my credo .
I agree with avk that athlon is the best for gamers. You should try it.
