I am building a new a new PC and i need a Dual core processor, as dual core is fairly cheap, and works well.
I can't afford an Intel Core 2 Duo!, so i looked to towards the AMD dual cores which are alot better prices, and have been dominant on getting one for a while.
However i've noticed there are what looks to me quite good, Pentium D dual core processors on the market.
Here is what i have been looking at.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ (2x 2.3GHz ,2x 512KB L2 Cache)
INTEL Pentium D 2.8 Ghz LGA 775 Dual core 2x1024mb L2.
From where i live (UK), they are simular prices.
I'd like to know which processor is better, they are both dual core, so therefore both run two independent cores.
The pentium has a higher Ghz.
Please dont answer this is you dont really know much about this.
The only question i want answered is :
Which one is better? And a description why.
I dont really want recomendations as this is my max limit and I cant afford a Core 2 duo, dont recomend it!
