The pd 805 is better mostly because of it being dual core. Though taking the considerations of heat disapation I might lean towards the anthlon. I don't know.... Get more opinions.

pentium d, who cares if its hot

64 4000, if you are going to game, or intel if ur more application based, as all the new games released now are based and tested on AMD CPU

I plan on gaming and multitasking , I pretty much use my computer for everything.

Athlon 4000...it's by far the best out of those. I think the 805 does a few applications more quickly, but the Athlons are faster over all...

Since the Pentium D 805 is dual core, will it be alot better for multitasking then the AMD?

Has anybody used both of these processors, with similar machine specs. To see how they compare.

pentiumD 805 is better than AMD in multitasking

AMD is better than PD 805 in gaming

And according to tomshardware, AMD 3700+ and 4000+ was better in audio coverting and photoshop

If you want to use your computer for gaming and If you use photoshop then get AMD

If you want to use your computer form multitasking and if you don't play heavy games then get Pentium D
