Pentium D
« on: June 07, 2005, 12:26:38 pm »
Due to the stupidness of the people on the stealthbot.net forums I've decided to post my question here, hoping for a more mature and smarter group of people.
I'm building a new computer; so far I've equipped it with an AMD 3700+ San Diego core.  I was wondering is the Pentium D Dual Core 2.8Ghz is worth putting in my machine instead of the AMD.

Only if you're running non-gaming based applications which are built to use dual-core processors.  Otherwise, stick with the AMD.

Thank you for the post Rabbit.  After looking at the preformance to price ratio I've decided to stick with the AMD.  Unless I hear shockingly amazing results with the new Pentium.  I'll be doing a bit of gaming, and this chip seems geared more to multi taskers.

From what I've read, dual processors aren't really that useful for everyday computing. It seems they're only really taken advantage of when running applications that would use it, like servers and such.  :P
