Whats better Amd Dual-core or Pentium D?

i've never tried either of these but i usually find that AMD is better for the money. Although I've heard that's not as true as it used to be
i agree
apparently they have started to use less cost-effective materials when building them.. so you cant overclock them too much.. whereas with pentium i tend to burn them out..T.T

I'm on an AMD 64 2GHz, and have recently found I have room to overclock, but ive never seen the need.
well the parties that ive seen have no room for lagging.. so i might need to run hd games and memory-hoggz like W.O.W. ^^
Pentium D's are an old product, your best bet would be a Intel Core 2. Fast desktop cpu's on the market right now.
What sort of video card do you plan on having with your system?
Intel Core 2's overlock quite nicely too, if you are into that sort of thing.

im not quite sure of the video card.. im still kinda hard up for the cash.. so the first one will probably be a Radeon
A good video card will be more important then a dual core CPU. If you plan on going to lots of LAN parties, I would suggest a minimum of a Nvidia 7600GT or an Ati X1600 Pro.
true.. but my friends dad has two spare cpus from his new pc.. since he just got them and wanted to upgrade..
