Pentium D 6300 vs Athlon II x2 240

both are fairly old, however the pentium d is simply a dual core pentium 4. so the athlon is better here.

what are the clockspeeds of both?
 
The Athlon II Processor is not that old. The Athlon II 240 is a more powerful processor than any Pentium D series processor.
 
so, an athlon II 240 @ 2.8ghz, would really beat a Dual Core e6300 @ 2.8ghz?

am I getting you guys?

so what's the matchup of the athlon II 240 in the intel platform?
 
One is clocked at 2.8ghz the other at 3.0ghz, if your going to get either of the two get the lowest, cause its the same chip, just overlocked 200mhz, that can easily be acheived with the 240.
 
Here is comparison between X2 250 and E6300

(Note: in some benchmarks lower means better, so read each one carefully)

They Looks pretty even to me

Anantech doesn't have 240 benchmarked. So, thats why I'm comparing E6300 to 250.

Pentium E6300 is based on Wolfdale architecture, it is not based on Pentium 4

I would go with the Athlon II 240 over the Intel Pentium E6300 Processor because it is $20 less and you can get a motherboard that uses DDR3 RAM with the Athlon. Motherboards that would support the Intel Pentium E6300 only use slower DDR2 random access memory.
 
Double Data Rate 2 (abbreviated DDR2) is not much cheaper than DDR3 memory.

If you want 2 gigabytes of DDR3 RAM take a look at this memory for $51:

PQI POWER Series 2 gigabytes (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - $51

If you want 4 gigabytes of Double Data Rate 3 (DDR3) RAM take a look:

CORSAIR XMS3 4 gigabytes (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory - $94

Going from a Core 2 Duo E7500 (2.93 gigahertz) to an Athlon II 240 processor is not an upgrade. You won't notice any a difference at all in processing power.

An upgrade from a Core 2 Duo E7500 would be going to an Intel i7 Quad-Core or a Phenom II 955 Quad-Core Processor.

What programs are you running that your hardware can't handle? The Core 2 Duo E7500 is a pretty decent processor.
 
If you have a E7500 and want to upgrade to AMD for the least amount of money and make it worth while. You need to go for a Phenom II 550 or 720BE. Both are unlocked and overclock pretty good, plus the chance to unlock them to a quad. Going from a E7500 to a Athlon II X2 240 your not going to be able to tell any difference.
