C4C Well-Known Member Feb 8, 2014 #2 Core 2 is gonna be faster.. Let me know if you find a good deal on one (possibly with a new mobo).. I've got an 8300 and I'm looking to upgrade it just enough..

Virssagòn VIP Member Feb 8, 2014 #4 A Pentium 4 is very old and performs almost 3x slower than the Core 2 Quad. The Quad is the way to go!

spirit Moderator Staff member Feb 9, 2014 #8 Time you got a new computer since the Core 2 Quad won't work in it. The Core 2 Quad is like 6 years old now anyway, so I wouldn't really recommend spending money on one.
