Buy Intel 965 chipset based mobo as u'll have d option to upgrade to C2D later.If u want it cheap buy Intel D945GNTL.Dont buy Pentium D.They r crap,buy AMD or C2D

Pentium D (Also Pentium 4 Prescot ) r all crap cuz they have a very high TDP rating and generate a lot of heat.Even the lowest AMD Athlon X2 beats the Pentium EE on most benchmarks.If u wanna buy Intel buy C2D else buy AMD.The gate oxidising temp of Intel is also lower than dat of AMD.u wont be able to OC a P D or P4 too high wit stock cooling.For these & lots of other reasons i call Pentium D CRAP.

But if we consider only performance(w/o oc) then can we still call pentium D crap?
