CPU - The Brain Of A Computer

CPU is the most important component of a computer, like human brain. How clever the computer is will depend on how good the CPU is. For the home entertainment PC we're building, a dual-core processor is a must, plus Intel Viiv technology. Before the launch of Intel Core 2 Duo processors, I think Intel Pentium D processor 900 sequence will be a good option:

• Intel Pentium D CPU - 930, 3.0GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2 x 2MB cache
• Intel Pentium D CPU - 940, 3.2GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2 x 2MB cache
• Intel Pentium D CPU - 950, 3.4GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2 x 2MB cache

The Core 2 Duo processor will be launched at 27 July. What's difference between Core 2 Duo and Pentium D? Core 2 Duo will be more energy-efficiency and most Core 2 Duo processors have 1024MHz FSB instead of 800MHz FSB.
