well, we have the AMD Athalon 64X2 duel core processor 4200- 2048MB memory with 250GB hard drive and this thing screams, mock 1000000000000000 (wooooooo hooooo!!!) I have had up to 6 IE windows open at once and running Photosmart at the same time. (photos are part of our business) The price is a bit higher than the one you are getting but it is more than worth it, happy computer hunting!!

Its all on what fits your budget. Go to newegg.com and read the reviews on the processors and they post their systems benchmarks on there. AMD's dual cores are fast but the Intels Core 2 Duo blows them away as of now.

No need to overclock unless you have a slow slow cpu.

hey, PLEASE trust me on this
every last pentium sucks!
i have had tons of them
the only good one is a Pentium D 805 because of it's low price and overclocking abilites
the real deal is the
AMD Opteron 165 Dual Core 1.8ghz
yea yea i know it is 1.8ghz
but guess what?
i have it a 2.6ghz right now
on normal air
the tempurtures havn't even changed from the stock temps
and neither has the voltage
so get the opty 165 for 160 bucks at www.newegg.com
and ur good to go
