the pentium d's are dual core also......http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...&Description=Pentium+D&name=CPUs+/+Processors

you could check out tomshardware.com and i think they have a cpu comparison area where you can plug in both models and see which one performs better in various tasks.

a core2duo is way faster...

dual core is different to the core2duos...

yea the C2D is better check this out the C2D 4300 1.8GHz gets a better CPU score in 3dmark06 than the Pentium D 3.2GHz

All things being equal, the C2D is the way to go. However, D-series are much cheaper, and still have a lot of beneficial uses. If you need every drop of performance from a CPU, get a C2D; if you want good performance and save a bit of $, go D900-series.

well like a pentium d on newegg costs 99 dollars, so you could get a 2.2GHZ e2200 for the same price, that will beat it at stock speeds

Damn. They were cheaper by a bit on Tiger, but of course, they're no longer available there...go figure.
