It si very easy to recomend C2D to every one. Everybody like you can not go on buying spree, budgeting limitations & many other factors.
Instead cotribute to the comparison of P4 & PD and clear the doubts of many other wanting to know this.

Re: Pentium 4 Extreme edition or dual core
Wouldn't AMD be better in that range then? Tsunami if you can mention what budget you can have then people can suggest you what to go for.

He's talking about a Pentium Extreme edition... that exactly aint cheap is it? He wants a CPU for gaming and he's not mentioned his budget. How on earth can you infer that he's budget constrained? I'm just pointing him to the right direction.

Re: Pentium 4 Extreme edition or dual core
my vote goes to pentium 4 extreme edition, better than pentium D as compared to price and performance.

That is fine but still no one on the comparison of P4 EE & PD. Even I am looking for these answers. I don't find any diffrence in performance in P4 EE & PD. Then was PD a gimmick by Intel matchup with AMD

Re: Pentium 4 Extreme edition or dual core
Don't go for P4 now on , they are crap now
If u tight on budget than AMD 3800+ is best solution , cheap and good performance

Re: Pentium 4 Extreme edition or dual core
well for ~5k even i'd suggest something in the range of 3800+. if u can't get c2d, get this one. simple, if its not c2d its amd athlon. price to perf ratio is just tooooo high for p4 range! not worth it!

Re: Pentium 4 Extreme edition or dual core
i'm not specifically pointing at 3800+. "something in that range" my aim was to tell the poster to get the max proc from the amd stables widin his budget rather than go for pentium range.

Re: Pentium 4 Extreme edition or dual core
A friend just purchased an X2 3600+ brisbane core CPU today for 5200 bux. Thats the 65nm AMD64, 1.9GHz, 512x2KB cache. Thats easily the best deal around.

Re: Pentium 4 Extreme edition or dual core
for 5k
get a p4 2.8
dont think of AMD . u cant get any that beats P4 at 5k range (board +proc).
so invest the entire 5k on a p4 proc....

i beg to differ. there is no comparison between p4 2.8 dual core or PD wid x2 3600+!!!!! i dun think its wise to invest anything on the pentium range! if u can afford get c2d otherwise get the athlon x2 depending on ur budget. imho the binary choice wud be the best decision depending on budget.

the brisbane core uses socket am2 (940 pins). so if the board is bases on 939pins, it surely won't fit in there!!

If you are lucky, you can still find the older manchester 3800 X2 socket 939 CPU. Be ready to pay around 8-9k however for it.

Re: Pentium 4 Extreme edition or dual core
^^^ no point in paying ~8-9k. it wud make sense to go in for c2d if u are ready to spend in that range.

Lasts long ???? Untill you play any game. Infact Intel should be thankful to ATI for 101 & 102 motherboards. With those mobos atleast some games can be played otherwise intel are all crap processor till C2D and mobos almost all.

Donot know about the price performance ratio between AMD and Intel ..... But can surely vouch for intel if you considering Value for money....... In the sense that....... Overall intel boards have a better driver/ BIOS support then AMD... So they kinda excel in this field as their drivers are updated more frequently than AMD's.... There are so many types of AMD processors (athlon, sempron, thunderbird sledgehammer, duron ,turin ,operaton and what not....in market and to get a corresponding board is a hassel if your board burns out.. you will be in trouble as they are only readily available with cpu only and i know just a very little people who will stock an AMD board you see Bad for Business.......
Besides if you try to sell an AMD board and cpu then you will be in for a surprise a there are a very little or no takers for AMD !!!!!!! Specifically Think like that not many people in this forum will buy it as there will be a faster AMD ready to be taken for not much price.... which most people can afford... Now think of the real people who buy secondhand stuff.... reasons can be any just playing safe.... saving money and do not need a killer these are the people who do not even know about AMD........
I am just giving you a market perspective... Of course both will get the work done for you....... the choice is that how long you wanna stick with your system....???

Re: Pentium 4 Extreme edition or dual core
^^Obviously you have no brains. First of all AMD doesn't provide any drivers. Its the chipset maker that does. If you used a shitty via or sis chipset, then well thats why you are cribbing. Secondly there are only two types of CPUs in the market from AMD... Athlon 64 and Sempron and both run on socket am2. Thirdly every single vendor sells AMD. Infact 50% of assembled systems my dealer sells are AMDs. Finally about resale value... who buys PC components with resale value in mind  . It has to be sold as junk no matter AMD or Intel heh. Fact is if one has money, spend on Intel Core 2 Duo which no doubt is the best CPU in the market right now. If one is on a budget, get an AMD athlon x2. Whatever the case, Pentium 4 and D are ridiculously slow and hot and not worth anyone's cash unless he/she has no brains like you.
