  • One of the most important tech specd's too look for would be the RAM at minimum lookf for 2GB.
  • 1) "Pentium D Central processing unit Produced: From 2005 to '08 Manufacturer: Intel CPU speeds: 2.66 GHz to 3.6 GHz FSB speeds: 533 MT/s to 800 MT/s Process: (MOSFET channel length) 0.09 µm to 0.065 µm Instruction set: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, x86-64 Microarchitecture: NetBurst Cores: 2 (2x1) Socket: LGA 775 Core name: Smithfield, Presler " "The Pentium D brand refers to two series of dual-core 64-bit x86 processors with the NetBurst microarchitecture. Each CPU comprised two single-core dies (CPUs) - next to each other - in one Multi-Chip Module package. The brand's first processor, codenamed Smithfield, was released by Intel on May 25, 2005. Nine months later, Intel introduced its successor, codenamed Presler, but without offering significant upgrades in design, still resulting in a relatively high power consumption. By 2005, the NetBurst processors reached the clock speed barrier at 4 GHz due to a thermal (and power) limit exemplified by the Presler's 130 W TDP (a high TDP requires additional cooling that can be noisy or expensive). The future belonged to more efficient and slower clocked dual-core CPUs on a single die instead of two. The dual die Presler's last shipment date on August 8, 2008 will mark the end of the Pentium D brand and also the NetBurst microarchitecture."

(Note: The Yonah had two interconnected cores, similar to those branded as Pentium M, but comprising a single silicon chip or die.) The 2x2 MCM dual-die quad-core CPU had two separate dual-core dies (CPUs) - next to each other - in one quad-core MCM package. The Core 2 relegated the Pentium brand to a lower-end market, and reunified the laptop and desktop CPU lines divided into the Pentium 4, D, and M brands. The Core microarchitecture returned to lower clock speeds and improved processors' usage of both available clock cycles and power compared with preceding NetBurst of the Pentium 4/D branded CPUs. It translated into more efficient decoding stages, execution units, caches, and buses, etc, reducing the power consumption of Core 2 branded CPUs, while enhancing their processing capacity. The Core 2 brand was introduced on July 27, 2006 comprising of the Solo (single-core), Duo (dual-core), Quad (quad-core), and Extreme (dual- or quad-core CPUs for enthusiasts) branches, as of 2007" Source and further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2 Further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_%28CPU_architecture%29#Current_processors
