new cpu

MicRaDoT932 · 04-05-2008, 07:01 AM

i want to upgrade my cpu. i have a intel pentium d 2.66 OC to 2.98 and i was wondering if a faster pentium d dual core would be better or a intel core 2 duo?

Depends on the CPU - Dual Core Pentiums are known to handle a wicked OC. They're basically toned-down C2D's. I you want/need a larger cache, go with an actual C2D.

<--loved his IP-95

All E21xx's and most C2D's, save for the just-released ones, will work on them.
