OK, so I want to spend the least amount of money as possible while still getting a decent dual-core processor. I was looking on newegg and found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116249

The main thing i was looking at was the reviews. It got good ones and it's really cheap. If i overclocked it, would it be an alright cpu for how much it costs? Currently, I have a Pentium 4 3.2 800mhz fbs HT. Is the dual-core going to be better?

I have that CPU. For a while, the processor was the most overclockable one on the market. The dual core will perform noticeably better then your current processor. Mine performs very well in all tasks.

No, your 3.2 HT is much better.

in some benchmarks there will be dif between the both, mean one will do better than the other but im very happy with my pd 805

Well i have a E6400 highly overclockable i overclocked it from 2.13ghz(stock standard) to 3.2ghz whithout changeing voltage or ne thing i run ddr 2 800 ram with 1:1 ratio(fsb 400) the processors pretty cheap.I'm not american but i see most ppl like newegg so .. i went there and this the price of it - $220.50

but looking at your Pentium D 805 its only $79 but in benchmarks the Pentium D 805 is among the worst of them performing worse than ur P4 3.2ghz. The only thing the Pentium D 805 performs better than the P4 u have is in muilty tasking, which is due to its duel core. but performance wise ur P4 would be faster. all depends what your gona do with it. I personally woundn't recommend the Pentium D 805 for $20 more you can get am AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz per core. In benchmarks Its pretty good for its price.

This is my most faverate(sorry im a terriable speller but u know what im saying) site for me to know whats performing best its www.tomshardware.com

you can choose the cpu u want to compare then choose the benchmark to comepare it with its great.

exacally, if your gonna run 20 programs at once (im exagerating) then get a Pentium D otherwise, just gaming stick with the Pentium 4

hmm about ur exageration ... i actually liturally run 20 programs at once and thats not just microsofts programs ... i like to keep eveything running so i dont have to start them up again lol ... arh the beauity of a E6400 oc to 3.2ghz .. i really love it. it was really everything everyone said they were to be....

if u could get a E6xxx then i sagest u get it .. maybe out a ur price range thou..
