Is Pentium D dual core? Obviously its not the same as a core 2 duo, but how good is it exactly? __________________ Current Build (Hope to finish by late spring): Intel Q6600 g0 Asus Maximus Formula geIL Evo 2GB (2x1gb) DDR2 ATI HD3870 X2 or Nvidia 9800 X2? 2x 150gb RaptorX (Have it) Thermaltake Toughpower 750w PSU (Have it) ZeroTHERM BTF90 Antec P182 Case HP w2207 22" Monitor (Have it)

Yes Pentium D is a dual core. In terms of how good it is? The Pentium D line is at the bottom of the pyramid with performance compared to the other dual cores such as C2D and X2 dual ccores.
