Processor Question

[3dsignco]

Ok we had a Board Fry on one of my Computers so I going to build a New system and rebuild an older one.
My Question.

I have 2 processors. One is a 2.8mghz Pentium D Dual Core
the other is a Core2 Duo 2.2. is the Duo still a more powerful possessor at 2.2 then the D at 2.8 .

The overhauled machine will run our Router and I will retire the 10 year old K6 4-100 DOS machine. I will Miss DOS. Stable stable stable.

Sounds like one of those Math questions from High School.

I would put the Core2Duo in the system that is likely to have more applications running at the same time (multitasking).

Even thought the clock speed is lower, you are likely to get better results that way. You are likely to have a larger cache on the Core2Duo as well.

The Core2Duo architecture is much superior to the Pentium D dual-core processor, which has been compared to two Pentium D processors just glued to one another. The Core2Duo is a more intensive, stronger processor as Casey mentioned above. Even with a slower clock speed you will probably notice it performs better at multitasking work and on systems where software is better designed for multithreading.
