i think e4xx0 series is better because l2 cache is bigger than the e2xx0, even though there have been some reports saying their performance is about the same.
like cck_my said in the previous entry, pentium d is the older generation intel cpu. it is only a dual core, not duo core, meaning it has no REAL 2 cores to process. it will be outperformed by either e2xx0 or e4xx0 series. just want to mind you that although e2140 uses the product name of dual core, it is a real duo core cpu.
in addition, if you are thinking to get more out from your cpu, aka overclocking, the newer line of intel is a much, much better choice.
so, don't be fooled by your friend~ |
