What about this overlooked processor?

[GX1_Man]

There is frequent talk that the "most powerful processor" is the Intel E6400 for $220 delivered. What about this article for the Pentium D 805 which sells currently for $93 delivered, also from Newegg?

I would never need something that powerful, but it is a very interesting article. If you're into overclocking, it may be right up your alley.

Try as I might, I cannot find a link..

The Pentium D 805 in comparison to the Pentium D series, isnt exactly the same as the E6400 in comparison to the Core 2 Duo series, because the Pentium D was built on the 90nm process, while the high-end Pentium Ds where built on the 65nm. The E6400 and all the Core 2 Duos are built on the 65nm process.

I heard about that a while ago, I thought it was really amazing how much extra power they managed to get out of it, especially when you consider how relatively inexpensive it was.
If I had a desktop, I'd be right into it.
Nice find for those who haven't seen it before, and it makes interesting reading even for those who have.

Hmmmmm.... sounds like a little project to add to my emachines and drop the celeron D.
Thanks- G-Man....
