Increase your budget and get Core 2 duo.I have Pentium D.And i cant see any difference b/w PD and Pentium 4.So go for Core 2 duo.E6300 or E 6400.

pentium D is a superheater.. best wen used to make toasts...

..
my pentium D runs at 55-58(idle) n bout 60-65(load)..
if u can.. go for the low end core 2 duo...

While Core2Duo is going to cost a bomb (around 16 to 18000) it does not come with copy protection so any software will run as long as it is compatible with the operating system.

Core2 duo 6600 is abt 16,000 but it begins from the 6300 which is a lot cheaper at abt 9-10k

U can use ur old hdd with core 2 duo. C2D is a great choice.

well whats d difference b/w c2d and PD

c2d is a whole lot faster than pd...
also has a much higher cache...

^^ Presler has 4MB L2 cache which is the same amount avlbl in higher end C2D

I was hunting the same a few days back. Core 2 Duo for sure, its way faster than Pentium D.

Nope... ^^The E6600 CPU itself is a little more than 15k
