DUAL CORE QUESTION

[kasia00]

Can anyone tell me about the Diff. between a DUALCORE 800 series vs the 900's Series?
I have nooooo idea what the differences are.

Also the system requirements for it.

Thanks!

The 900s are the presler core using 65nm and run extremely hot
The 800s are the smithfield core using 90nm and run even hotter that the 900s.
I just got rid of my 930...you really don't want either of these chips.
It was Intels kneejerk reaction to AMD hitting with Dual Cores.
Intel duct taped two cores together and called them the Pent-D dual core...JUNK!

If you have yet to buy any parts for this PC, definitely forget about the 8xx and 9xx series and go for Core2Duo... even the e6400 overclocks and performs INSANELY better than even the best 9xx chip.
