the pentium 4 3.2 comes in 2 versions 540  and 640 the difference is the l2 cache the 540 is 1 mb the 640 is 2 mb both have HT technology hyper threading to get a dual core (2 processor) you need to buy a 840 or 940 pentium D

on newer mainboards no settings have to be changed. assume you want to upgrade from a Pentium 4 630 (3GHz) to a Pentium 4 660 (3.6GHz), the mainboard recognize the new CPU automatically due to the CPUID (this is an identfication code within the CPU). The multiplier of the clock frequency will then automatically be set from 15 to 18 (x 200MHz).

maybe its time to get a new computer or upgrade the pentium 4 form 1.5GHZ or 2.5GHZ or higher

r u kidding, a Pentium D is a dual core processor, that means that u have two and i mean two 2.8Ghz processors which equal 5.6Ghz and u can burn ur DVDs and watch ur movies and surf the Internet in the same time because the load is divided between the two processors,go for the Pentium D off course, that if u can Handel it's price\nNote: u will need a different Motherboard if u want to go for dual core

dual cores are best for multitasking and p4s are best for gaming. \n\nif you dont already have a pentium motherboard though, please consider getting an AMD brand instead. they are cheaper and less resource intensive.

I would definitely suggest the AMD Athlon 64x2 4200+ for the following reasons:\n\n1.) AMDs use a cross bridge between the two cores to communicate while Pentium dual cores utilize the FSB for core communication. The FSB for Pentiums is used for all communication between the CPU and all other parts including communication with RAM, and is also a one way highway (can't send and receive at the same time). Communication between cores in Pentiums just adds to the bottleneck and noticeably slows down the system at higher usages. In addition, the Pentium 920 does not even have the hyper threading feature, which bogs it down even more in intense computing environments. The cross bridge in AMDs is a direct link between cores and is used exclusively for the purpose of communication. \n\n2.) The hypertransport in an AMD system is a two way highway (it can send and receive at the same time). This allows RAM such as dual channel PC3200 to show benchmark scores which are the same as PC2-6400 used with Pentiums. \n\n3.) If you look at what the top websites such as tomshardware.com use in their gaming desktops to benchmark video cards, it's always an AMD. \n\n4.) AMD's produce less heat which require less cooling and have more potential for overclocking.\n\nIf you want the best answer, go to this link and compare the two directly in each benchmark:\n\nhttp://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html

I suggest that you might opt to choose a Pentium 4 LGA775 HT Technology. So that you could max up your applications and tasks to the fullest...

The Intel Core 2  Duo processor is ripping the scene up right now.  Almost all computer manufactures are using this processor in their high end systems.\n\nWhen purchasing the computer make sure it says "Intel Core 2 Duo" and not "Intel Pentium D (or Dual-Core)."  That is an older model that uses much more power and delivers less performance.\n\nIt is okay for your Core 2 Duo processor to have a lower clock speed than its Pentium D counterpart.  (Ex, a Core 2 Duo at 2.4 GHz will outperform a Pentium D at 3.0 GHz).\n\nRemember that if you plan on gaming your video card is just as important as your processor.  If you  have enough money try and grab a Nvidia 8800 series card (totally rocking the gamer scene right now).\n\nGood luck and enjoy your new computer!\n\nUpdate:  A good company with reasonable prices and excellent support / warranty is Dell.  www.dell.com.  You might be able to get a cheaper system from a local computer dealer, or even cheaper if you build it yourself.  Be aware that this hot hardware requires at least some knowledge of cooling and power supplies if you plan on building yourself.

possibly 3.1ghz but be careful i tried overclocking myself once and it didn't go too well

If you can tolerate 1.13 GHz lieu of 1.4GHz, they are going for about 20 bucks on Ebay. I am pretty sure your current processor is a "Slot 1", but if i'm wrong, then you have a "socket 370". You'll need to know this for sure before you buy a P3 replacement.

basically it depends on ones need.\nits the processor cycle speed and RAM size which really matters.\np4 2.66 ghz can work slow compare to amd 3.0 ghz.\nbut i feel for one desktop machine 256 mb RAM and p4 2.66ghz is better.

that's the test report Pentium Extreme Edition 955 versus Athlon 64 FX-60\nThe conclusion in one phrase: the test results make it clear, however, that Intel probably won't be able to catch up with AMD using processors based on the Netburst microarchitecture.\n\nhttp://techreport.com/reviews/2006q1/fx60-vs-955xe/index.x?pg=1

If it's a single thread program, the pentium 3.0 ghz\nIf it's a multi thread program, the dual core.

Pentium D is way faster then P4, however alot of software does not suppor the dual core, so its basically same as P4 Unless ur software has support for that.

The AMD XP 2800 is supposed to be equivalent to a Pentium 2800MHz = 2.800GHz processor (hence the 2800).

Core 2 Duo is far superior.  The Pentium 4, though it does have the capability of hyperthreading, it is still just a single core 32 bit processor.  The Core two duo has two 64 bit processing engines, so it can process more instructions at one time.

A pentium 4 is a single core single threaded processor. This is the normal kind of processors we have been seeing for a while now. \nA Dual core actually contains two (nearly) independent processors in a die i.e. it is as good having two processors on one chip. These chips typically have a lower frequency rating. But they are designed to provide higher throughput. \nHT stands for Hyper Threaded. In technical jargon called Multi-threaded, this processor gives a notion of two processors even the most of the individual components of the processor are shared. (The Functional Units are shared. My understanding is that Pentium 4HT implements coarse grained multi-threading, so the pipeline is the same but the register file will be duplicated.)\n\nWhich one is better depends on the kind of application you are looking at.
