which is cheaper intel pentium 4 or intel core 2 duo?

Question

i am thinking of buying one of them. but which one should i buy according to price and efficiency?
basically i need for gaming

Answer 1

If you are using it for gaming, go the Core 2 Duo, without a doubt. It will cost more than the standard Pentium 4, but the Core 2 Duo's are said to run 40% faster than a Dual Core. basicly, with a Dual Core or a Core 2 Duo, you will not expirence slowdown or lag if you have another large application that starts up while you are in the middle os a game. But if you are upgrading to a Core 2 Duo, I would suggest 2 gigs of RAM (1 minimum) and nothing less that a 256mb Graphics Card, preferably a 512 or 768, but nothing less than a 256. I have an Nvidia 256 6200 in my wife's PC and it runs just fine for most anything she plays as far as games. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

See intel p4 is cheaper than core 2 duo. As p4 has single core and core 2 has dual core.
As far as efficiency is concerned, P4 3.06 is superb. But defenitely core 2 is more powerfull.
For extreem gaming core2 duo is preffered.
Though be sure , P4 wont let u down. Just manage 1 gb ram and see its power.

Answer 3

obviously pentium 4 is cheaper but for gaming u should go for dual core or core 2 duo and they are also little cheaper but not cheaper than p4.
