Pentium D 820 - Dualcore for the Mainstream...half-the-price of the Athlon X2! Remove this text

Can we actually discuss this time please...

And to get some questions out of the way first:

YES, the E0-stepping Pentium 4 is 64-bit.
NO, "total system power" is not representative of CPU power draw.

Put an end to popups!

What's to discuss? It just looks like the D vs the X2 is the same choice people have faced buying PCs for plenty of times...you can pay a lot more to get the absolute best, but it will be a lot cheaper to just get the almost best.

OTOH I think Intel is taking the right route. Lower cost will get people to actually buy it. I can't name any people who would buy a $1,001 processor.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Cheaper is good

Then I might actually be able to afford to upgrade my computer one day

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Well I still have the Pentium 4 3GHz (800) which still seems to be serving me just fine...certainly no need for an upgrade yet although this thing is coming up to it's 2nd birthday...

I agree, which is why I shamed you when I heard you bought a P4 laptop.
