Definitely go for a strong Pentium 4....however, in my opinion, AMD processors are better for gaming. Also, it's not just the CPU you have to worry about. Flight Simulator runs best with at least 1 GB of RAM. That's what I use, and it runs fine.\n\n\nHope this helps!!!

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

That's a pretty good question. The Intel Core Duo  has a different archtecture than AMD Athlon XP, so they will perform better or worse depending on the applications you're running.\n\nA 1.66 GHz Pentium M (Dothan CPU) is approximately the same speed as a 1.6-2.0GHz Athlon 64 and about the speed of a 2800+ - 3000+ Athlon XP. The core duo will definitely be much faster in multitasking situations, but for the most part, you won't see a large difference in speed compared to the AMD Athlon XP 2700+.\n\nHere's a benchmark from Tomshardware that compares the core duo to the Athlon X2 desktop processors:\n\nhttp://www.tomshardware.com/2006/04/24/dual_core_intel_processors_for_low/

Okay always remember this: 64-bit Processors are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY better than a 32-bit processor becuase they have faster data transfer rate so I always recommend AMD processors with 64 in the title, I don't really care for Intel Processors. Even though this is a bit of topic, heres a question.... Which is better an Intel Pentium 4 with 1. ghz or an AMD Athlon XP 1800+, well the answer is the 1800+, even though the processor speed will be lower than the Intel Pentium but because of higher data transfer speed in AMD CPU's you notice higher speeds in AMD processors, so I recommend always go with the AMD.

Personally, I'd go with Centrino (which I believe is now called Pentium M).  I don't believe a Pentium M chip is close to 3.0GHz but there are other benefits aside from the reduced speed of the processor.  The main problems that I have with a P4 chip and any laptop is the amount of heat that is generated and the weak battery life.  A P4 chip wasn't really designed for a laptop unlike Centrino, which Intel designed specifically so that laptops would run longer without as much heat.  I think that's more important.  If you go ahead with the P4 chip, I would definitely make sure that the heat and the low battery life aren't going to be annoyances to you.  There are also more features to Centrino than just these but that's beyond the scope of this question.  Anyhow, most laptops are coming with 512MB RAM, which should be plenty for most common tasks.  If you consider yourself a power user, you may want to go with 1GB.  I'm not too familiar with laptops that come with AMD chips...I've actually never heard of any.  And Pentium is always better than Celeron.

In the land of server and workstation procesors, it is the AMD Opteron. Even better is the fact that it is dual core and can be run in dual proc mode (2x2=4 cores!!!), thus enabling wonderful multitasking abilities (and support for multithreaded applications such as DVD Shrink.\n\nIn the land of gaming processors, it is the almighty FX-60. This dual core gaming processor is the last CPU coming out for the soon-to-be-outdated socket 939 for AMD (its being replaced by socket f/M2). If you dont want dual core (no games currently are optimized for dual core but some programs are), then go with the much cheaper FX-57.\n\nThere isnt a real answer to your question. The FX-60 easily outperforms the Intel Extreme Edition 955 in most things (like games), but in terms of sheer clock speed, the intel processors are on top (even if the AMD processors are'quicker')

Assuming you could find a P4 running at that speed (the fastest P4 Intel released was 3.8 Ghz based on a Prescott core, with the next fastest being a 3.73 Ghz P4 Extreme Edition), the processor would be, in absolute terms, faster than that Pentium M, but it would be consuming radically more power to provide that computing capability.   Pentium M is much more power efficient than Pentium 4, as measured on a "performance per watt" basis, the new standard Intel is using for designing microprocessors.  Because of this new focus on performance based on power consumption, Intel is dropping the Pentium 4 core from future processor development, and all new Intel CPUs will be based on Pentium M technology.

depends on your needs.  If you are looking for a light weight excellent battery life laptop I would go with the Intel® Pentium® M 780 2.26GHz 2MB L2 Cache 533MHz FSB .\n\nIf you are looking for a BIG HEAVY incredible performance rotten battery life laptop go with High GHz Pentium 4 HT processors or AMD® Athlon™ 64 with HyperTransport.

Pentium Xeon is mainly for servers and costs a lot, some use it for 3D rendering. Pentium M uses centrino mobile technology mainly in laptops. The best Pentium Processor is the Intel® Pentium® processor Extreme Edition 955, having two cores @ 3.46Ghz. But the high price of over $1000 scares a lot of customers.\n\nTomshardware Guide compares all kinds of CPUs, here's a link to one of their charts where they list the CPUs according to performance: http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu.html

Celeron and Pentium are processor types made by Intel. Celerons are the worst processor you can get--they will at best last a couple of years before slowing down and will break shortly after--their only advantage is they are cheaper then Pentiums. There are two types of Pentium processors that are sold today: Pentium 4 (or P4) and Centrino (or Pentium M; these are designed to be used in laptops because they use less power). Pentiums are fairly good, but aren't the best, and they are very expensive. \n\nI would suggest using AMD processors. The AMD Sempron competes with the Celeron, the AMD Turion competes with the Centrino, and the AMD Athlon competes with the Pentium 4, but the AMD processors are more reliable, will last longer, are faster, and are much less expensive; especially the Sempron, which  can sometimes outperform Pentium 4s.

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.

As far as performance goes an Athlon XP 2400+ is equivalent to a Pentium 4 2.4GHz processor, hence the 2400+ designation.  However, Athlon processors have a tendancy to be faster by peforming more work per clock cycle than a Pentium 4 at the same level.\n\nSee benchmarks at Tomshardware, http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/11/21/the_mother_of_all_cpu_charts_2005/page24.html to give you a feel where modern AMD processors stand as the 2400+ is no longer made.

Listen, the best of the best, while still getting a bang for your buck is an AMD Athlon Processor. Athlons are better than Pentiums for one good reason, FSB (Front Side Bus). FSB determines how much information can be sent at one time. The bigger the FSB the more data can be transformed at one time, and vice-versa. Even though Pentuims are faster, Athlons can process more data at one time, making them best for multi-tasking. Let me help you visualize. Imagine a waterfall. The water in the river that leads to the waterfall is represented as data. Now, River A is a skinny river but its moving fast. River B is a really really wide river, so it moves slower, but dumps more water at the end of the waterfall then River A. Since River A is so skinny, it easily gets clogged up. And Since River B is so fat, it rarely gets cloged up. So, River A not only doesnt send as much data as River B, but sometimes it can get clogged up in itself. River B , on the other hand, is a little slower but dumps way more water because its so fat, and usually never clogs up. In other words, Peniums usually come with a low FSB. Thus, they can only send and process a little bit of data at a time, Thats why they have to be fast, to make up for the low data transfer. This makes Pentiums good for doing one thing at a time. Athlons, are a little bit slower, but have WAY more FSB than Pentiums (Usually 2000MHz). This makes them extremely good at tackling many processes at once. Not only that, but they are usually cheaper. Just let me give you a little guide to buying a PC. \n\nThe 4 most important things to look at when buying a PC or labtop are:\n1) Processor speed\n2) FSB \n3) RAM\n4) Memory\n\nThe Processor Speed and the FSB must have a balance. If you get a slow Processor, than you need a lot of FSB. If you get a fast Processor, than you dont need that much FSB. (A fast processor runs over 3GHz. A slow one runs under 2GHz. A lot of FSB is around 2000MHz. A little FSB is under 1000MHz.)\n\nThe RAM is very important as it also increases your computers ability to compute and store many things whenever it needs it. Thats why its called Random Acess Memory. (A lot of RAM is over 512MB. A little RAM is under 512MB.)\n\nThe regular Memory (Hardrive) is sometimes used as RAM. This is called Virtual Memory. Which is why its also very important because it helps out the RAM. (A lot of Hardrive memory for a Laptop is over 80GB. A little Hardrive memory for a Laptop is under 60GB.)\n\nSo, really, there are 3 important factors. Processor speed, FSB, and RAM. But since the Hardrive is used to help RAM, its important to get a lot of it. (they are cheap anyways, you can get them about .25 cents a GB) \n\nI Hope this helps you pick out a good labtop.
