First and foremost, the Penium D and Pentium Dual Core are two TOTALLY different things. The Pentium D is based on the same architecture as the Pentium 4, just with two cores, while the Pentium Dual Core is based on the same architecture as the Core 2 Duos, just with slower FSB and less cache. I assume when you say Pentium Dual Core, you are referring to it and not a Pentium D. Anyway, to put them all in order, from best to worst it goes Pentium 4

When you say Pentium 4, you are not providing much information. There are Pentium 4 from 1,6Ghz To 3,73Ghz, so watch out... Probably it's a Pentium 4 HT 3,0Ghz or Pentium 4HT 3,73Ghz. And Dual Core can be more than one thing too, it could be 1,6Ghz to 3,6Ghz. It's probably an Dual Core 930 (more or less). You should provide more details. But comparing these processors (Pentium 4HT vs Dual Core 930 3,0Ghz) i would prefer the second. An Intel Core 2 Duo is a LOT more powerful than any of those, even if the frequency is lower. An Intel Core 2 Duo 2,1Ghz is much more powerful than an Intel Dual Core 940 3,4Ghz!! But i would go for the Intel Dual Core when it's between Pentium 4 and Intel Dual Core. All the processors i have mentioned (Pentium 4 HT, Dual Core, Core 2 duo) are socket 775.

Pentium Dual Core or course, cause it consist of 2 core for more & better processing. I used Pentium D 2.66 ghz.

Pentium DualCore is better because of multi tasking

Dual core--just make sure your motherboard supports it. On some boards you have to flash the bios for it to support the Pentium Ds. Some P4 boards dont support them at all.

P4
DualCore is kinda wasting money.... cause most of programs cant use the second core in dualcores and dualcores doesnt share caches its like 2mb cache for 1st core and 2mb for the 2nd core. but core2dou shares cache like it have 4mbs for both cores so if one program doesnt use the second core the first core can use the all 4mb cache so it can increase the speed of process.
i recommend you dont waste your time on P4 or dualcore.
get a core2dou.. it have cheap entry level models too.
