I can understand the Intel Only requirement... Apart from a 386-40 and many years later a Duron 800, I always had bad expieriences with AMD... CPU's heating up and subsqeuently being defective (no overclocking, Asus Mobo) and things like that.
I never had any problems like these with intel.
However, I've spent $300 on a single intel CPU before... so much for the set budget
Must be fast, yet under $300? Hmmm...Emachines? Maybe the Frys brand...what was it...
I just upgraded my computer (or rather rebuilt), and it cost over $900. All parts bought from Newegg. If I bought them at retail stores, it would most likely have cost over $1500.
If your budget is $300, you can't be picky about speed. Also, you gotta choose one or the other, particularly, choose a specific task. Some things require a faster graphics card, some a faster cpu, some large amounts of ram, and some large amounts of hd space. I can honestly spend $300 easily JUST on high speed high capacity storage. My cpu was half of that $300 (but it's AMD, what do I know?).
