I'd appreciate any answers on this thread being geared to basic computer usage only such as browsing the internet, downloading torrent files, burning DVDs/cd's, etc., NOT GAMING OR DOING GRAPHICS WORK. Specifically, what will noticeably run basic processes faster, assuming high RAM is a given, Higher MHZ or having
a higher level processer. Specifically, will say a 2.3 MHZ Pentium 4 run processes faster then say a 1.66 MHZ Core 2 Dual. Will a 2.3 MHZ Core Dual run faster then a 1.66 MHZ Core Dual, etc. Any answers are appreciated.
 
for the tasks listed there is no need to go to those high end cpu's.
I cant tell what cpus you are talking about, you say core 2 dual. But these dont exist. Do you core 2 duo range or do you mean the intel dual core range
There is no 1.66ghz core 2 duo

Oh and also you say MHZ when i think you mean GHZ :D

can you be more specific with model numbers ;)
 
Sorry About Wording Let Me Try to Articulate this Better

Sorry, I keep getting duo & dual confused as well as GHZ & MHZ.
Basically what I'm trying to understand is, Assuminh Hypothetically you have 2 computers with say the same XP OS, the same HD- say 120, the same RAM say
4GB but one is a 1.66 Core 2 Duo Processer & the other one say is a 2.8 or whatever the higher GHZ processer for Pentium 4, which one will be faster for your system forgetting about gaming & graphic works, for downloading torrent files & just surfing the net & bootup time? Will the difference be noticeable? What about a 1.66 Core 2 Duo & say a 2.8 (? whatever the Maximum is) Core Duo?
