I got a pentium D Dual core processor?

no. not even if both cores can process the same task. but the CPU is faster when processing multiple tasks but not at the double speed. keep in mind that both cores uses one and the same resource - the system bus.

dual processors actually has 2 CPU processor chips on the motherboard.\n\ndual core is a psudo-dual processor technology that provides two, independant processing units on a single CPU chip.\n\nHope that helps !

there's a little program called cpuid that tells you this and more but you could look in your bios too

Your CPU is a Socket 478 with a 400MHz FSB. You'd need to find a Pentium that fits that socket and uses a 400MHz FSB. Your upgrade options are limited because it is an older socket. An upgrade for your CPU would be about $100 for a 2.0GHz P4, but the benefits probably aren't going to be anything to write home about. I personnaly don't think it's worth the trouble. Save up and buy a new motherboard and CPU.

Do... find a 50 dollar CPU on ebay and bust it open and play with the software.  Ofcourse, there is also the library....

I would say that you most likely have a bad CPU.  You've eliminated all other potental reasons except for the power supply.\n\nDo a quick check of the power supply, but I'd almost put money on a shot CPU.

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.

Not much, I bet! You can't maximize the dual-processor capability if you are just using windows xp unless you are planning to install a windows server software. \n\nBesides, a motherboard with dual-processor capability is much more expensive than an ordinary m/board. You might need a new CPU case as well to fit the dual-processor board.

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.

You will need to find a MB that supports PCI-E, Your current processor will not work in a MB that supports PCI-E. You will need to get a MB and processir with a socket 754 or better. like ASUS K8N-VM

You need to go to my computer, then to the control panel, then to the performance and maintenance and performance. Then click on the system icon. Almost at the bottom of the page it will tell you what kind of processor you have, such as 2.9 ghz and beside that it should say something like 512 mb of ram. There you go, I hope I really helped.
