OK, so I want to spend the least amount of money as possible while still getting a decent dual-core processor. I was looking on newegg and found this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116249

The main thing i was looking at was the reviews. It got good ones and it's really cheap. If i overclocked it, would it be an alright cpu for how much it costs? Currently, I have a Pentium 4 3.2 800mhz fbs HT. Is the dual-core going to be better?
 
I have that CPU. For a while, the processor was the most overclockable one on the market. The dual core will perform noticeably better then your current processor. Mine performs very well in all tasks.
 
Well i have a E6400 highly overclockable i overclocked it from 2.13ghz(stock standard) to 3.2ghz whithout changeing voltage or ne thing i run ddr 2 800 ram with 1:1 ratio(fsb 400) the processors pretty cheap.I'm not american but i see most ppl like newegg so .. i went there and this the price of it - $220.50

but looking at your Pentium D 805 its only $79 but in benchmarks the Pentium D 805 is among the worst of them performing worse than ur P4 3.2ghz. The only thing the Pentium D 805 performs better than the P4 u have is in muilty tasking, which is due to its duel core. but performance wise ur P4 would be faster. all depends what your gona do with it. I personally woundn't recommend the Pentium D 805 for $20 more you can get am AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 2.0GHz per core. In benchmarks Its pretty good for its price.

This is my most faverate(sorry im a terriable speller but u know what im saying) site for me to know whats performing best its www.tomshardware.com

you can choose the cpu u want to compare then choose the benchmark to comepare it with its great.

exacally, if your gonna run 20 programs at once (im exagerating) then get a Pentium D otherwise, just gaming stick with the Pentium 4
