ummm pentium D sucks ass? seriously the C2D is the newer CPU with the newest bells and whistles that well outstrips the PD.

The Core 2 Duo is a far better processor, any Core 2 Duo will outperform it in every task.

Neither of them support Hyper-Threading.

The Pentium D Extreme Edition (965 or 955 or 840) is dual core and has hyperthreading, but it gets blown away by most Core 2 Duo processors.

true, however the Pentium Dual Cores are between those 2 and good for budget systems.

It's pretty much a rape.

A 1.6Ghz Core 2 Duo beats a 3.0Ghz Pentium Dual Core.
