Pentium D 2.8 Bus 800 64Bit is Perfect CPU. Good Overclocker to.

I have a Pentium D 805 2.66 and with stock cooling I got 3.2 and with my watercooling I'm able to get 4 ghz it only cost me 150$ can and the price dropped since. IMO it's one of the best cpu for its price

Okay, but for $183.00, you can get the conroe 6300, which if I'm not mistaken, outperforms most if not all of those cpu's. I mean, if you already have the motherboard, and your just looking to upgrade your cpu, then one of those will do the trick very nicely. However, for the dollar, the conroes are not just a step ahead of the competition, they're like comparing a Yugo to a cadillac

its more cpu for the buck.

His mobo not support Core2Due.

If you want cheap yet good go for AMD. If you want the best money can buy you want a core2. Those p4s are absolutely useless and have no place IMO.

I sayd that again, his mobo not support core2due.
hi have soxket 775, he got to replace mobo if he want AMD system.
