Go for PD as it is 64 bit and dual core plus it will be good for gaming.I bought Pentium D 3.0 ghz three weeks ago for Rs 9600 so u can guess it will be less than that.

Pentium D will give you better gaming performance compared to P4 3+ GHZ.
Intel's 'Core 2 Duo' is the best one for gaming , available right now.

Dual core. Although the clock speed of each core may not be 3ghz but keep in mind they are TWO of them.
Simply put:
one fast workman can finish one work in one day. but two relatively slower workmen can finish the same work faster, working together.
