HI- QUICK QUESTION- I HAVE 140 QUID TO SPEND ON A PROCESSOR
THE 3.0 GHZ PRESCOTT AT £117 DOESNT SEEM TO GET A GREAT WRITE UP WHERE AS THE PENTIUM D 930 3.0 GHZ IS AVAILABLE AT 140 QUID- THE WRITE UPS SEEM FAVOURABLE AND IT OUTPERFORMS THE SIMILAR PRICED ALTHLON SINGLE CORE 64 BIT CPUS IN MOST OF TOMS HARDWEAR BENCHMARK TESTS. THE ENRTY PRICED DUAL CORE ALTHLON CHIP SEEMS TO HAVE A SLIGHT EDGE ON THE PENTIUM D BUT IS WELL ABOVE MY PRICE RANGE.

CONSIDERING MY BUDGET AND THAT I WANT TO RUN MULTI THREAD AUDIO APPLICATIONS LIKE CUBASE SX3 WITH NO OVERCLOCKING OR GAMING WOULD THE PENTIUM D BE MY BEST CHOICE?

COMMENTS GREATLY APPRECIATED
