does the intel pentium dual core2.66ghz have the probelom of heating fastif yes plzsuggest meothergud cpu(amd?

The heating problems died with Pentuim Duo architecture. Intel Core2 Duo's architechture is different and runs cooler as compared to its predecessors.

No such thing as Pentium (R). You must be thinking of Pentium M, which is a low-power variant of Pentium 4. \n\nA 1.6 GHz Pentium M is about a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4. So Pentium 4 3.8 Ghz will be quite a bit faster than 1.73 GHz Pentium M.

you should use your bios to do so,by  pressing the delete button while your PC is starting up, in the bios menu there should be a clock speed in megahertz setting that you can change, for instance from 100 Hertz to 110 Hertz, this will change the speed of the CPU from higher to lower respectively. But I would not recommend overclocking AMD CPU, the AMD tends to run much warmer than Intel PC, so add extra coolers or upgrade the CPU fan before overclocking it, monitor the CPU temperature carefully afterwords, especially after heavy processing, if  applications start behaving strangely, then I would recommend switching back to the normal settings

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

1.6 ghz AMD turion 64 X2 has two 1.6 processors inside. Dual core processors handle multi-tasking better if you're running mulitiple programs on a Pentium 4 it's going to slow down. If you run it on the dual core processor it will run smoothly. \n\nRunning one program at time 2.4 P4 processor would beat 1.6 dual core. 1.6 is kinda slow I have 1.83 core duo processor. I paid $1200 for my 15.4" labtop. Now there are core 2 duos which are faster than the core duo so I recommend getting a labtop with a core 2 duo or at least what I have because it's pretty quick.

Actually, the number 3500+ is a relative rating that compares AMD to its competitor Intel. 3500+ means that it performs relative to a Pentium4 at 3.5 GHz. The architecture of the AMD cpu allows it to perform faster at lower clock speeds than intel processors, although that is not necesarily better. The current maximums of literal clock speeds is about 3.5GHz or 4GHz when overclocked. This literal speed has not been surpassed because of the amount of heat that the cpu generates, therefore companies have been modifying data pipelines and creating dual core cpus to get better performance. The real speed of your computer is still a balance between all components, so as sockets upgrade and architecture changes to better accomadate faster ram and hard drive speeds and real support of 64bit computing is created, performance can still increase while cpu clock speeds can't be raised.

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

AMD and Intel are two different architectures.  You will see a significant performance boost in basically all aspects of your PC usage.  However - every system is different and there is no exact percentage that can be given.  It's all system specific.  Even benchmarks will not accurately tell you.

No, you can not say this. It depends on the programming of the application. In several benchmark tests a higher clocked single core CPU is still faster than a dual core CPU.\nI found a good article where the two processors Intel Pentium D 820 (dual core) and Pentium 4 670 (single core HT) are put in opposition.\nhttp://techreport.com/reviews/2005q2/pentiumd-820/index.x?pg=1

Well if u are asking which processor get really hot easily it is no doubt AMD. They operate at high voltage and get hot quickly and need more cooling. just try to add another fan to your cabinet adn there is something called cooling grease u can try that also.

In Amd The are two good processor amd athlon 64 dual core & amd athlon x2 both the processors have very high performance i should prefer u amd athlon 64 dual core processor.

There is not, that I am aware of, no. Of course... dual core is where AMD's numbers stop making sense. The numbers they give their processors is supposed to give you an idea of how fast they are compared to intel (ie an Athlon 3500 should be as fast as an intel 3.5ghz, even though the athlon is running at something like 1.8ghz) However... the AMD dual core numbers are still being compared to Intel single core... so an X2 4800 is supposed to be as fast as an intel single core 4.8ghz (which doesn't actually exist, of course) Not an intel dual core 4.8ghz (which also doesn't exist... oh my god, you'd feel the heat from miles away) So now AMD has come out with new crap numbers that apparently don't mean anything except when you compare them to other AMDs, they're just... arbitrary... numbers. And that makes my head hurt. But anyway my point is, there's no intel dual core 64 bit 3.6ghz+ cpu that I'm aware of, however AMD *might* have something that's its equivalent in speed, but your guess is as good as mine, because their numbers don't make sense anymore.

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

We are talking about levels of cache here.  The previous post is talking about the amount of level 1 cache as compared to what the original poster is talking about which is level 2 cache.  Am I wrong?\n\n\nBottom line, the pentium is faster.  This is due to the pentium's amount of cache that is "closer" to the processor.

AMD 64 bit dual core. The older CPUs are 32 bit so this is twice fast.It runs at higher bus speeds and blows the doors of of anything that Intel makes. Also it allows you to run alot faster RAM Memory sticks and with the board below as long as you run all the same brand of sticks it will run them in the dual channel mode which is twice as fast.With 4 slots for the memory your talking being able to build a kick butt computer. I think I paid maybe 200 buck for the board and CPU. Intel makes a 64 bit but unless all your drivers are made to run with a 64 bit you have nothing but major problems stuff wont work (cd, dvd,video,sound,and so on) get the picture. Amd 64 on the on the other hand is compatiable with either 32 or 64. Also it is verrrry able to be overclocked (speed up the bus speed) I have a AMD 3200+ 64 bit it is a 2 gig CPU. I have it on a GIGABYTE GA-K8NSC-939 motherboard, the 939 is how many pins are on the bottom of the CPU the higher the better and 939 is the highest right now. By pressing the delete button at start up it will take me into the bios settings setup so if you want to I can change them. One of the nice things with this board is the it allows to change the bus speeds and AGP (accelerated graphics port settings) or basicly the port that your video card is plugged into this nice because you can also speed it up to. Nice for gaming or watching videos. I have turned up the bus speed set on mine without having to turn up the voltage (which might cause the CPU to overheat if set to high) the AMD will handle a voltage up to 4.9 volts right now mine is around 3 volts get the picture AMD kicks a+s. I have my CPU overclocked to 2.41 gigs. So basicly my 2 gig CPU is now a 2.41 gig CPU. Ive had it running like this for a year without ever having any problems at all, infact this bad boy boots up in about 20seconds,not bad!!! Any computer tech will tell you to GO WITH THE AMD they out bench mark and totaly out perform any thing Intel makes!!!!!! Intel makes a quad-core but basicly AMD doesnt care because their dual still blows Intels quad away. Check the bench marks for yourself.\n\nTuea - You have it it on the head!!!!!!!!!!\n\nZeus

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processors

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.
