  • Its good but no competiton for the Core2Duo's or AMD X2's, just because its a dual core at 2.8ghz doesn't necessarly mean its great.

    For gaming Core2Duo's offer significantly better peformance. Pentium D is quite old now in the world of cpu's. You can still game with it but of course there is better performance elsewhere.

  • It's fine. I'm running a 1.0 GHz PIII with 1.5 GBs of RAM and a 256 MB video card with a surround sound audio card. It runs on Xubuntu and is very fast. I would suggest RAM and a good Video card and your computer should be good for a few years.

  • The D's are budget chips they offer pretty great performance but they consume copious amounts of electricity and run a little hotter then I have ever been comfortable with.

  • Its a dual core, each running at 2.8....Id say its very good for entry level.

  • Okay for most applications. What do you want to do with it?
