I have a LGA775 Socket.

Answer 1

The following is a summary of the D 935 from the source below, check the source page, they did extensive speed test on the CORE 2 DUO E4300 VS PENTIUM D935.

On its side, Pentium D 935 show modest overall . it is not a bad processor. It offers performances equal to Core 2 duo E4300 using default frequency, is negotiated with a completely advantageous price and it can easily be overclocked! we could make easily pass from clock speed of 3,2 GHz to 4,4 GHz! even if Pentium D 935 preserves the defects of family Pentium D, with a high consumption and important heating, it remains particularly interesting to update at few expenses an existing platform Pentium D. On the other hand, we will not advise Pentium D 935 for new equipment because of reduced evolutionarity which offers the attraction of Core 2 duo whose price is hardly 50 euros more expensive.

Hope this helped.

Answer 2

It is fast in comparison to the majority of processors still being used in PCs, but it is one of the slowest and most power-hungry of the dual-core processors which are now becoming mainstream. That's not to say it is a bad processor, but a lot better are available.

As you are looking for a processor-upgrade on your LGA 775 mobo, the first question has to be: what make and model of motherboard do you have? Unfortunately, Intel have revised the power specifications of their motherboards numerous times in recent years meaning that an LGA 775 mobo is not guaranteed to run CPUs released after the motherboard was manufactured. It might work, but the motherboard model must be known first or you could be headed for serious problems, especially with a Pentium D processor as they were the most power-hungry of all Intel's chips.

Its, By Todays 'Standards' Ok....

But You Wont Be Doing Anything Overly Special On It, Sorry !

Its Good For 'Medium' Games And 'It Will Do' For Normal Office Work... Try Looking For An Intel Pentium 3Ghz, Cheap & Very Good !

But Overall. If I was Building Another Computer, I Wouldn't Mind Putting It In For A Starter One...

Good Luck Mate ! :-}

Answer 4

It is OK and you wont notice a considerable difference from a standalone Pentium unless you use programs that make use of multithreading. But still playing a video while doing additional tasks wont slow you down as a single processor.

Core 2 Duos are very fast but they can be expensive as yo umay have to change the motherboard.

Answer 5

the pentium range is old, you should wait a while till the core 2 duo prices fall and get one of those. and a new motherboard.

also check out www.overclockers.co.uk they do some good bundles of cpu motherboard and memory so you can be sure that they are compatible.

Answer 6

It's capable,.. but nothing special,. will do most things perfectly well,... but don't expect the hardest of tasks to be completed quickly or with ease,... it'll be fine for low to mid-range tasks for sure :)

Answer 7

It's OK. There are faster

Answer 8

nice.
