Simple facts,

All Core 2 Duo Processors are Dual Core Processors..
All Pentium D Processors are Dual Core Processors..
All Intel Dual Core Processors are Dual Core Processors...

Pentium D is nothing but 2 Prescott Processors side by side... runs very hot, not a good OverClocker...

Intel Core 2 Duo processors are next gen processors from Intel on 65 nm platform... developed from Ground up with new Architecture called Core... so they are whole new Processors just Jump like Pentium 2 to Pentium 3 or Pemtium 4... Expect one Core 2 Duo Lowest End Processors like E4400/E4300 taking up and beating Intel Pentium D 3.8 GHz ones with ease :lol:... runs damn coool and super overclocker...

Intel Dual Core Processors are just launched striped down version of Core 2 Duos.. there are 2 in Market for Desktop range, E2140 runs at 1.6 GHz with 1 MB L2 and 800 MHz FSB and E2160 with 1.8 GHz with same specs of E2140.... these are not Pentium D rather they are same btach like Core 2 DUo based on the new Core Technology.... they perform same like Core 2 Duos but they were launched with a very low price like Rs. 2800/- + TAX for E2140 to counter super low cost but high performer AMD X2 range....

^^ is E2140 faster than P4 3.06 HT

which is the lowest end quad coore processors?what's the price? does it fit on Intel DG965WH? Can i overclock it to 3ghz if it is around 2.5ghz? does it runs very hot like Pentium D?do you mean "core" is the name which is used in place of pentium for nextgen processors?

I dont think DG965WH supports Quad Core... *www.intel.com/design/motherbd/wh/wh_available.htm

Lowest Quad Core is Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz priced around Rs. 12900/- + TAX Kolkata...

Any processors is over Clockable.. all needs better cooling to reach higher Speed values...

and yes Pentium Brand has been discontinued in favour of New Processors Batch and Brand Name called Core....

Then what's this:*www.intel.com/products/motherboard/DG965WH/index.htm

wired !!! personally i have not put any C2Q on DG965WH so cant confirm in details but 2 page of Intel Web site is giving 2 information...

May be it supports as G965 Chipset do support Quad Core and few other intel 965 models do support Quad, but better email Intel before you buy a processor....

No intel motherboard apart from 975 xbx sereieses cant be used for Over Clocking... how ever if you have a Motherboard which supports OC, refer here, *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64388

First of all let me tell you that Dual Core is a name of "class" or architecture of processors which refers to any processor (weather its Intel or AMD) with two cores on the same chip. Whereas Intel Core or Intel Core2Duo is a registered trademark [™] of the Intel Corporation. Many peoples (even geeks) sometimes gets confusion between Core 2 Duo & Dual Core or Dual Core & Core Duo. The fact is all the above mentioned processors are Dual Core processors. Read the full article here
