Im cant seem to get my mind straight of what cpu i want. is a pentium d 3.0 way faster than a P4 2.8. What would be the major diffences? could you all come up with examples of Speed Difference? thanks
The pentium D is a duel core processor, meaning that each core runs at 3Ghz. The P4 is a single core. So you could basically say that the pentium D can do twice as much work in half the time. The Pentium D is better.
Ray, since when do Pentium D cores run at 6Ghz? lol They're both worthless CPUs, get a Intel Core 2 Duo E6750.
I'm shocked. I would have thought you'd know better by now. The Pentium D is ass on a stick compared to any Core 2 Duo, and the cores do not run at double the speed.
Oh dam! That a was a shi**y mistake! Sorry guys! I meant 3Ghz each... I was busy doing something else I guess...
i figured it was a type-O and why they didnt is your guess i have a pentium d 820 and a pentium d 915 these processors are great the 915 with the 4Mb L2 cache rocks the Pen D's are not expensive these days so i find them well worth the purchase some people like to split hairs on processors and/or gotta have the best but for all my needs and budget the D series is fine by me
good page to reference intel processor abilities http://compare.intel.com/pcc/default.aspx?familyid=1 AMD makes some great stuff too
No pentium D is worth the purchase. Want some thing on a budget? Try this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116052 It's a core 2 duo with less cache.
i like that core 2 duo processor. its just 10 dollars more than the pentium d. how much would i be able to over clock that one with the original cooling? by the way that was a nice find.
Well there is a version that's slower than the E2180 I posted. It runs at 1.8 Ghz instead of 2Ghz. Toms hardware overclocked that to 3.2 ghz on STOCK cooling. Since the one i linked to is faster it might overclock even more. Do you already have the motherboard?
i already have the case. i dont want to spend more than 250 on motherboard and cpu and power supply. this is only for the mean time as im building a quad core. need just a couple of bucks. this is for a friend of mine. im helping him with his.
by the way im reading the reviews and they suggest a better fan for the cpu. could you be able to help with that also.
i have a dell 4700 and it has two gigs that im going to take off for this one. i have an extra hard drive and a x1950 pro 256 video card. i just need these last items. i know alot about computers just well doesnt hurt to ask around to make sure your doing the right thing.
i need a good motherboard. just for it to run the core 2 duo. at a cheap price. like i said its a 250 dollar budget. it be nice too if it was lower.
As for those parts. Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128059 PSU: Still looking lol. Sam knows more about these. Ok this should work. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153052
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121035R what about this one. i only need one that will work for like 3-6 months. i we wont be using it after that. dont want to spend that much money on something that we aint going to use for long.
