aslo does anyone know if any of these come with heatsinks? or do i have to buy them seperately?

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

If you can afford it get the E6600 Core 2 Duo. And yes they come with good heat sinks.

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

i cant afford it.......i can barely afford this lol..........so which one is better?

[solofowaffles]

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

definenetly go with the core 2 duo,i have the 6300 and its loads better than my dads pentium D,also the core 2s are not as hot and consume less power.

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

i know this is a extremly noob question......but what makes the duo core better if it has less ghz than the pentium D? no one has properly explained this to me....

[UNDIESRULES]

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

Its far more efficient and gets a lot more done in less time, dont let the speed thing fool you, even a lowly Athlon 3200 clocked at 2ghz will outperform a 3ghz Pentium 4 in lots of areas.

Trust me, the core 2 duo will beyond own the pentium d, it won't even be funny. You're also going to need a better mobo, with at least a 965 chipset.

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

i still havent decideed on mobo yet.............but i need one that is agp, and is ddr 184 pinn [ pc3200 ] can anyone find me one with at least 965 chipset via newegg? like SIR MAT DEF said. thanks guys!

with an lga 775 socket ofcourse

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

jeez nismo u need to get a pcie mobo....even if u have to wait 3 months ave up for a new mobo ram and v-card if u have to lol....u cud even get 512 ram for like $30 to get u started and buy a basic pcie card and a basic mobo lol.....

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

im keeping it oldschool...im staying agp.........lol cmon someplease find me that mobo i suck at searrcing!ol

[Death Merchant]

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

its gonna be hard to find an AGP mobo which will fit that processor too

[imported_nismojspec]

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

for the record..........im not planning on upgrading after this.....so u guys still think i should go with the duo core? cause the pentium D is already at 3.4ghz

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138263

does this have atleast 965 chipset?

No, and it won't support the core 2 duo. If you can't afford the proc now, then wait because you really don't want a pent d.

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

so wat mobo should i get?!?!

u know wat? i dont care.......ill get the pentium d........wat mobo should i get now? but it says on the website that the pentium d is dual core

Re: christmas.........which one!?!?

"dual core" means that the processor has two computing brains. It is a generic term.

Pentium D is a name that Intel gave to it's first generation *old* dual core processors.

Core2 Duo is a name that Intel has given to it's current *modern* line of dual core processors.

If you can get a Pentium D cheap, then they aren't BAD; they offer significant improvements compared to single core processors. "BAD" they aren't, but what they ARE is inefficient, hot, they use lots of electricity, and the stock fans are very loud.

Most likely, you're either going to have to buy a new graphics card (there were only a few LGA775 mobo's with AGP ports ever made), so you might consider waiting. Unless you just need to have a cpu to put under your pillow, NOW. :)
