Pentium D is crap to both AMD X2 and Core 2 Duo. Wait for Core 2 Duo to come out if you want to go that way, they make the entire Pentium D line obsolete.

I thought Pentium D is Core Duo..? So core duo haven't released yet?
texasboy:
They are both duo core Weera. I think what Quantum is trying to say is that the entry level AMD 3800+ does a better job than Intel using 800 series chips. The 3800 is more suitable for quiet office use than the AMD 4800+.
The AMD units are more expensive to buy and use less power than Intel ie.89w for the 3800 to 130w for the pentium D.
Intel duo core are more suited to newer mo-bo`s and the 900 series chipsets. Unless you are a constant pc updater just to be in fashion, take your time and read the reviews. A good quality single PCI-E card on a newer mo-bo and 2 gb ram is more than enough . Dont spend your money until you are sure what you want and wait till the prices come down.(as they always do)
cheers

you'll have to get tex to come and round and sort them out for you. he's gotten very knowledgeable on these things recently :o
for the PC with a file missing, if you've got an XP disk somewhere you should be able to boot of that, or at least reformat the computer
