I might be getting myself a new computer soon, so while bearing the
£
sign in mind, would I be better off buying somthing like an AMD Athalon 3000
OR
a Intel Celeron 2.4Ghz? What difference will Pentium 3 / 4 make, or is Celeron totally different?
After Christmas I will be buying my first flight stick. Am I right in thinking that the Saitek X45 is
1)
NOT force feedback and
2)
The best under £100 HOTAS? In your opinion, how important is Force Feed?

If I were you, I would get a P4, or a AMD, the Celerons are basicly a hunk of junk for simming
I would get somthing like a AMD XP 2500+ BUT any processor wont fit in any motherboard, so make sure that you check to make sure your motherboard supports the said proceossor!
I am somwhere I don't know where I am!!!&&

You should never put AMD Vs Intel as your title it invites flame.
Anyway out of those two processors the AMD is better
The Saitek is not force feedback, but the best ???
For me no, i like force feedback too much...
My system:
Intel Q6600@3.6GHz, Corsair XMS2 4GB DDR2-6400 (4-4-4-12-1T) , Sapphire 7850 OC 2BG 920/5000, X-Fi Fatality, Corsair AX 750, 7 Pro x64

No seriously don't start flame wars it annoys mods and gets threads closed.
I use the Wingman Force 3D, this can be got for £40.

Please guys, don't just say names like "just get a AMD64" cos I don't understand them! Please explain yourselves a little.

AMD 64 is the latest technology it uses 64-bit technonlogy rather than 32-bit. This means it is a lot faster.

Uk prices:
£300 for the 64
£150 for the 3000+
£52 for the celeron.
The celeron is by far the oldest it rivals AMD Durons.
The 3000+ is the best for the price and is not massively behind the 64.
The 64 is the best performer, but costs loads more. Think about what you need then make a decision.
