Does he have a goatee beard and have leather elbow patches on his cardigan :D
 
Sounds like he is related to the one at my kids school who has had the servers all build into a cupboard with no airflow 'to reduce the noise' and is now wondering why they crash all the time :)

To give you some real world figures to work with, a Pentium D 815 is worth about three-quarters of a C2D E6300. Your lecturer is probably just looking at the raw clock speeds which tell you absolutely nothing these days.

roffl

we had a tutor like that in tech, i was doing the A+ course, he was dredfull, didnt have a clue. at the end of the course year he said:

Does anyone want to sign up for the N+ course in computer networking. I have never done it before but i think it should be interesting.

We all looked at eachother as if to say, are you joking! He didnt have a clue about the A+ course and he read it all from text books.
 
It all depends on the application really, but if your into gaming a 1.86Ghz Core 2 Duo is more than a match for a 3.4Ghz P4D if not more. In some tests the Core 2 Duo is actually faster than a [email protected]

In Synthetic memory benchmarks P4's excell, but thats not much use in 'real world' applications. There are a few tests where P4's can almost keep up with Core2 Duo's but not many. Not to mention the Core2's using almost 50% less power than the equivilent speed P4D would.

I went from a 3.2Ghz Northwood P4, to a 2.66Ghz E6700, and the difference was mind blowing :).
