What cpu should I get... these are all within my price range, and keep in mind I plan on doing no overclocking, so which one would offer the most gaming performance without overclocking?

*amd 3700+ socket 939
*Pentium 4 Presscott 3.2 ghz socket 478
*Pentium 4 Presscott 3.2 ghz socket 775
*Intel Pentium D 820 smithfield dual core socket 775
*amd opteron 148 venus 2.2ghz socket 939

Pentium D.

Its supposed to be a good alternative to an AMD athlon.

But if your mobo supports only AMD, for for the Athlon 3700

I'd say the 3700.

why not the new core duos

why isn't there an Athlon 64 X2 3800+?

anyway, out of those, it would either be the Athlon 64 3700+ for mainly gaming, or the Pentium D for math/multitasking (though the X2 3800+ is better than the Pentium D)

The people who voted for 3700+ are AMD fanboys. There is no way for 3700+ to be better than Pentium D.

The Pentium D is dual core processor, so it is much better for multitasking and multi-threaded applications. Most of todays games are multi-threaded, so the Pentium D should match or even beat 3700+ in new and future games.
