i want to upgrade my cpu. i have a intel pentium d 2.66 OC to 2.98 and i was wondering if a faster pentium d dual core would be better or a intel core 2 duo?
 
Depends on the CPU - Dual Core Pentiums are known to handle a wicked OC. They're basically toned-down C2D's. I you want/need a larger cache, go with an actual C2D.
 
<--loved his IP-95:)

All E21xx's and most C2D's, save for the just-released ones, will work on them.
 
I agree with the E4500 - I picked one up earlier this week and I'm thrilled with it. At stock speeds, it runs circles around my old D940, and they can handle a nice OC.

While I agree with an aftermarket HSf, no need to spend that much on one. My $10 Masscool keeps this stock Idle at 18*C, and load at 27*C - even if I OC it to 3.0Ghz, it will still be well within acceptable temps.
