Is intel atom processor better than intel p3?

Question

I want to upgrade my computer by changing the mother board and p 3 processor to a new motherboard and atom processor. I don't have an idea of the result.

Answer 1

Intel Atom is not at all recommended.



Atom processor has many Hardware limitations:-



RAM 1 GB

HDD 80 GB

Display 256 MB



For Budget of Rs. 4500/-. I would suggest to go for



AMD Sempron 1250

Asus Motherbord

2 GB DDR 2 RAM

Answer 2

if u r so keen abt atom processors den go for it coz it is definetly much better dan ur p3.



but your p3 computer might have a ddr ram



so u cant upgrade only ur Mborad & processor

u need 2 upgrade ur ram as well & only few new mother boards have ide slots

so u u might not b able 2 use ur cd rom & ur hardisk as well

but dat is not a big problem u can use cables



before all dat decide wat ur budjet is i.e how much r u ready 2 put for ur upgradation



it is difficult 2 type all of em



if u tel me ur budjet i might be able 2 give a configiration dat suits ur budjet



have fun

Answer 3

if u have a desktop computr dont upgrade to intel atom because the intel atom processor is only designed for low power pc's such as netbooks and tablets.

if u have a desktop upgrade to P4 or something but not intel atom

Answer 4

Atom is definitely better than P3, but P3s used SDRAMs. So you have to upgrade them too.

Answer 5

Don't get Atom.It is a total crap.Get at least a dual-core.
