which one is better pentium 4 or pentium d processer?

for office work pentium d is good but for home uses use pentium4 but pentium4 will get hot fast so use at least 3 fans

Yeah you should check your local computer dealers to see if they have some generic desktop coming with a Pentium D processor. If you want a brandname then you can try Dell, HP, Compaq...etc or even Ebay.\n\nIf you only need the CPU then it should be about $300 (around $500 with mornitor and everything) at least since I remember the cheapest Pentium D is about $100. Brand name computers should be at least $500 without the mornitor.

Yes, I have Intel Pentium 4 w/hyperthreading & software that lets you choose programs to exclusively use, and option to turn on at startup. I have had no problems.

None better because each processor, AMD and Intel Pentium, has each benefits but usualy AMD cheaper than Intel Pentium so if you choose AMD you can get processor with performance as well as Intel Pentium with less cost.

I am currently putting my new system together.  I settled on the AMD64 X2 because I could take advantage of a dual core processor ( I use linux exlusively). I haven't looked at the pentium D so I could not comment or make a comparison.  I have built a few AMD's and a few pentium 4's .  I find the AMD 64's  more responsive and a better bang for the buck.

Intel Xeon is used in Server Computers. Their processing speed is much much faster than Intel Pentium 4 but are recommended for server computers and high-end workstations only. Cosidering the processing time, they can work 24 hours a day without crashing and are very costly. For the home and personal computers Intel Pentium 4 is the best. Now Intel has launched Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition that supports Hyper-Threading Technology, 64-bit technology and is the ultimatum for Gaming and 3-D modelling. Therefore Intel Xeon is the best choice for Servers and Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition is best for home and personal computers

athlon is less reliable then turion...turion is best in its class because it is a fast processer

Software that is written to take advantage of a dual-core processor will allow both cores to work together to complete a task. You won't get true 6 GHz performance, but it will be significantly quicker than if you were running a single core 3 GHz processor. One complaint about the Pentium D chips is the two core use the Front Side Bus to talk to each other, therefore, the processor speed is limited when the two cores are working together. I'm running a Pentium D 830, and aside for an increase in my electric bill, I'm happy with it's performance.

The penium processors are made by Intel, they are generally good if you plan to use your computer for office tasks.  However, AMD offers cheaper, more powerful processors.  If you plan on gaming at all, I would go with one of the AMD Athlon 64 Processors.  The clock speeds on AMDs are lower than Intels but, AMD processors are made to do more with the clocks, while Intel processors are made to have as many clocks as possible.\n\nFor low price, and quality, I HIGHLY recommend an AMD Athlon 64 processor.  In fact, I am using an AMD Athlon 64 +3200 to write this and to do all of my hardcore gaming.  AMD is definately the better choice.

well that is a nice question but the main difference is that with the dual processor, it enables your PC to respond faster to multitask and it does so a speed of as fast as you can multi task the computer. As fast it you can be multitasking the PC, so fast will it to respond to all the tasks at a glance. and that is the difference between the dual and that of the P4.\nMoreover these are the features of D processor\n1.Revved up multitasking\n2.Built for advanced applications\n3.Multiply your multimedia experience\n\nPentium D processor-based PC allows two people to share the content from one PC - in the same room, or even from different places in the house. For example, one person can be checking email while the other uses a remote control to access digital photos stored on the same PC and view them on the TV from the comfort of their living room. \n\nHope you are ok with this. We will talk more later

Sadly, the Pentium D's are pretty much 2 scaled-back Pentium 4 Northwoods slapped onto a single chipset. It's not a new architecture. They pretty much use the same decoding instructions.

The Pentium D is a 64 bit chip. The AMD Athlon 64X2 is a dual-core processor while the Athlon 64 is a single core.

Speaking from architectural point of view Pentium III and Pentium 4 are entirely different creatures.  Pentium III core is based on the Pentium Pro core that was introduced many years ago.  Pentium III is the evolution of that core with added features like SSE and etc.\n\nPentium 4 however was a completely different core based on the NetBurst architecture.  The architecture was designed to assist higher clock speed through its longer stages of execution.  It's perfect for multimedia applications that are repetitive and require a lot of data to be pushed out in a repetitive manner.  The downside to this is that, it is less efficient than Pentium III processors because of the length of the stages Pentium 4 does less work per clock than Pentium III.  So a Pentium 4 at 2.8 Ghz may only be able to perform at the level of a Pentium III at 2.0 Ghz.\n\nIn an interesting move by Intel, the latest cores, Core2 based, are a return to the Pentium III philosophy of doing more per clock and complete abandonment of Pentium 4 core.  Core Duo and the Core Technology based on the Pentium M core developed by Intel's Israel Research center brought the focus back to efficiency in thermal heat and also instruction per clock back into vogue.\n\nPentium 4 is on its way out.  Now the chic thing to do is package multiple processor cores in 1 die and have multicore processors.  (It offers absolutely no performance advantage if the software is not able to use the additional cores.)\n\nFor multimedia, Pentium 4 is an impressive platform.  For general usage, Pentium III provides a better balance of performance.  In either case, they are both on their way out.

More directly.\n\nhttp://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html\n\nTo save you some time I would say Athlons are for the most part are a better CPU. It is a much more efficent and effective CPU with low energy consumption/heat dissipation, high preformance per watt ratings, nativley desined for dual core and 64bit capacities, hypertransport bus technology. The pentium 4 has been a dog from conception, and the netburst technology from which its based is on its way out. Its in fact intel thats playing catch up with athlon.

It depends on wat kind of applications u work on. Dual core is good if u want 2 use multiple applications at da same time. It wont giv u any more advantages,it takes more power & more money from ur pocket.I say u go with Pentium 4 3.2GHz, coz its more faster & less power using dan dual core.If u want u can also buy AMD FX 57. Its very good & IC Chip(The best comp magazine) rated it da best proccessor. U can buy dat if u want. But if u still want intel, u buy P4 3.2 GHz

I would say the Pentium 3 would be better. But for games I wouldn't really try to play much at all with either of those CPU's.

You got it wrong. LGA775 is not a processor, it's a socket type. This is the latest socket type so far for Pentium 4 and Pentium D CPUs (as well as for Celerons) and it's the successor of the 478 socket.\n\nThe latest socket LGA775 CPUs are: the Pentium 4 (6x1 series), the Pentium D (8xx series) and the Pentium D (9xx series) with clock rates in the range of 2.67GHz to 3.8GHz.\n\nThese 3 series of CPUs are currently state of the art for desktop PCs. For notebooks they doesn't fit and therefore Intel has 2 series especially for them, the Pentium M (7x0 series) and the Core Duo (T2x00 series) with clock rates in the range of 1.66GHz to 2.26GHz.\n\nSocket 478 desktop CPUs\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010340343+1051707443+1050706985&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=343\nSocket 775 desktop CPUs (Core names: Prescott = 90nm, single core.
