core 2 duo or pentium d what to buy

bkpeerless · 15-03-2007, 12:24 PM

sir i wanted to upgrade my pc to buy core to duo..
but my vendor told that for that i have to upgrade everything from ram to ddr2 and hard disk to sata. also there is pircy issue that pirated software wont work on core 2 duo. and it will cost more than 18000 inc tax
are all this true... [

]

so i decide d to buy pentium d (dural core).
i wanted to know the performance difference between them and a sutable motherboard for it . i will use the machine for gaming an entertainment.........

thanks

Increase your budget and get Core 2 duo.I have Pentium D.And i cant see any difference b/w PD and Pentium 4.So go for Core 2 duo.E6300 or E 6400.

While Core2Duo is going to cost a bomb (around 16 to 18000) it does not come with copy protection so any software will run as long as it is compatible with the operating system.

Darthvader · 15-03-2007, 05:11 PM

Core2 duo 6600 is abt 16,000 but it begins from the 6300 which is a lot cheaper at abt 9-10k

casanova · 15-03-2007, 10:46 PM

U can use ur old hdd with core 2 duo. C2D is a great choice.

george101 · 16-03-2007, 04:29 PM

well whats d difference b/w c2d and PD

Pathik · 16-03-2007, 04:34 PM

c2d is a whole lot faster than pd...
also has a much higher cache...

darklord · 16-03-2007, 05:19 PM

^^ Presler has 4MB L2 cache which is the same amount avlbl in higher end C2D

Shasanka_Gogoi · 16-03-2007, 07:59 PM

I was hunting the same a few days back. Core 2 Duo for sure, its way faster than Pentium D.
