Thats true, but it still doesn't replace the fact that any Core 2 Duo will outperform it.

Are you sure your motherboard even supports having a 1066Mhz Bus?

justinmmm690 · 09-21-2006, 03:20 AM

yes i am sure about the 1066MHz I have called dell to make sure

Yes core 2 is incredible, but I am still a big fan of AMD so I voted amd, I'm glad I'm not alone.

justin, your right, the pentium d extreme edition is the best way to go. it has a higher speed then the core duo, so its faster.

OH LMAO, clock speed has nothing to do with how fast a cpu is. The x6800 the extreme edition core 2 would blow away the pentium d ee, even the e6600 and e6700 would beat it, or at least be very close.

That doesn't matter, but they run at 2.93GHz, but they are able to do oh so much more. Look for some benchmarks if you don't believe me, but they are so much faster.

then it cant be faster. if it's running at 2.93Ghz, how can that be better then a 3.73Ghz processor?

Pentium D EE is faster in terms of GHz, but when it comes to performing a certain task, for example, video compressing/decompressing or something else, Core 2 Duo X6800 takes the trophy, not to mention it overclocks far better, runs cooler due to less voltage becouse of the new 65nm process, it's newer and most important, it's cheaper.

I suggest you to read some stickies.

I choose whatever brand is right for the application. Just not PowerPC, AMD or Via.
