i was browsing the dell website and there was

Intel® Pentium® D 930 Dual Core Processor (3.00GHz, 800MHz fsb, 2x2MB cache)

and

Intel® Viiv™ technology -Intel® Pentium® D 930 Dual Core(3.00GHz,800MHz,2x2MB)

whats the difference and whats better and things?
 
It's basically like Centrino - you have to have an Intel chipset, Intel CPU and Intel something-or-other. Then the PC must support Away mode - a low power, fan-off mode where it can still record TV. Finally, when your PC passes all these requirements, you get a nice shiny VIIV badge to go on your PC.

It's basically helping OEMs to market Media Centre computers.

Yep, I mean 6 and 4 (not sixty-four) I realised just as I logged off that it could have been better explained =) . Very confusing indeed...
