Hi friends and tuxers,
I dont know how much you understand about the internal workings of the
processor but the Core 2 Duo is radically different from the Pentium
D. Core 2 Duo is based on the Pentium-M architecture while P-D is
based on the old Prescott arch. Prescott inherently had a lot of
heating issue and it had reached its limitations. Pentium-D is also
basically two Prescott cores stuck to each other while Core 2 Duo is
designed to be a dual core processor.
Mind you, Core 2 Duo will cost you exactly twice of whatever
equivalent P-D will cost you. C2D is gives much more performance per
clock cycle and is about 40% more efficient than the regular Pentium 4
processor.
About buying this processor, well, insist that you want to buy a Core
2 Duo processor which is DIFFERENT from the Dual Core Pentium
processor. Initially my hardware vendor too was confused! :P

Ya,that's true,but what is the price difference for the board + Core 2
Duo
v/s pentium D+D101GGC board?I have a friendly reseller coz i contacted him
through a cousin who's a regular customer and bought an entire new PC from
him!
P-D with D101GGC board will cost you 9500-10000INR with 512MB RAM
C2D with DG965RYCK will cost you around 24000INR with 512MB RAM
My Intel Express Installer Driver CD shows D101GGC.Is it that D102GGC also
uses the same driver installer CD?
>No. 102 has a different installer CD.
So,it is the D101GGC board.
Can i use my present 512 MB RAM with DG965RYCK or corresponding desktop
motherboard in only *essential* series of boards?coz i am no hardcore gamer
or anything,i just wnt to ensure my pc doesn't go to the junk heap within a
few years.
Regards
Easwar
