What is the cheapest LGA775 Dual Core 64-bit CPU currently?

[SunnyD]

I assume the 805 would be the cheapest dual core 64-Bit LGA775 CPU per Newegg... I'm not up to par with Intel CPU's though since the old Pentium days.

Yeah, the 805 would be the cheapest 64bit Intel dual core, but you would be much much better off getting an AMD X2 3600+ if you are looking for a budget 64bit dual core. There is really no reason to get a much slower, much hotter, and much more power hungry pentium-d. If you are going to stick with Intel, then you should spend a little more and get a core 2 duo, such as the E4300. Pentium-D's are the old broke down celerons of dual cores.

If you want a Core based processor then the Pentium 2140 and 2160 are the budget options.

Kind of hard to put an X2 into an LGA775 socket...

You didn't say you already had a motherboard either
And even if you do..you didn't say what motherboard, and not all LGA775 motherboards support all LGA775 cpu's anyway..you weren't exactly very specific.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Yeah, it would be pretty cool if you let us know what motherboard you have.

I took a look at Newegg, the 805 is $60, but it OEM and doesn't include HSF. The Presler core 915 is $88, includes the HSF, a better warranty, 65nm process (vs 90nm for 805) and free shipping. This would be a better deal to me for the small price difference after you purchased a HSF for the 805. Unfortunately the 915 is currently out of stock.

Is the 805 a 64 bit cpu?

Yes, all of the pentium-d's can do 64bit.

 

[Raider1284]

you should seriously considered a new amd or the new core2duos. No reason to build a computer on old hardware. Spend a little extra money and get a much faster dual core processor using the new architecture.

 

[SunnyD]

I love everyone questioning me... I just wanted to know the cheapest LGA775 64-bit dual core CPU! I didn't ask for build opinions!

 

[PCTC2]

I agree. You should just grab an C2D E4300 at eWiz for $100
E4300 for $100

It will outperform a 3.6 GHz Pentium-D and you can probably overclock it pretty easily to 2.4 GHz. Pentium D's are hot and inefficient. Core2Duo's are cooler and more efficient per clock cycle.

EDIT: Slow to post. It's the cheapest C2D (all are 64-bit)

Well then you know the answer, the pentium-d 805, enjoy the slow previous technology flamethrower that your motherboard may not even support. Your are the one that said you weren't up to par, so we were just trying to help you make a sound decision.

I agree that a 4300 is the best bang for the buck per se. Does anyone know when the dual core Celerons are gonna come out? I would love to see a 1MB cache chip celery that would cost less than 50 bucks for dual core, would totally drive a spike into low end AMD sales. Not that I want amd to falter mind you, but a budget chip would be the only market that Intel does not have a competive chip in at the monent. If anyone has any links that would be cool.


If your really into a budget 775 chip right now used 805 and 915s are hella cheap.

Here is the new e2140 with 1MB Cache: http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=E2140BOX

And you're assuming I'm "deciding" something?

Regardless, thank you all for confirming the 805. The E2140 appears to be an up-and-coming interesting thing for the price point... though to truly be a "Celeron" it still needs to shave about $40 off it's bottom line.

 

[coldpower27]

Celerons are going to remain Single Core for the moment. E2140 is a very nice Dual Core for a budget user assuming you can procure it.

 

[tbogstad]

here is the Froogle link for the E2140 for $89.00 + shipping

Sadly the price differential between the 4300 and the 2140 still makes the the 4300 a better buy, if the 2140 was 20 bucks cheaper or if it was magically 55 bucks it would truly be intriguing. Wonder what these chips will cost in july.
