Whats your budget? If you just want to buy a cpu, you need to know what your mobo can support. What socket is it?

The best cpu out there is the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850, which costs about $1000 USD. There are other good ones, like the duel cores, which go for around $200

i was looking at a dell intel pentium dual core processor

i was always told to stay away from centrino and stick with pentium

now i see.....

pentium dual-core
amd anthlon 64 x2 dual core
intel core 2 duo processor


the computer will be used for medical transcription, sending and receiving files over the internet and playing music, etc.

the computer i am looking at seems to be a good deal.

dell 530
pentium dual core processor
1gb memory
160gigi hard drive

dont know what else is in there.

thanks for any advice

hmm, pentium duel cores are ok, but core 2 duos are better and newer. If that dell pc you suggested has vista on it, I strongly recommend you get one with another gig of ram. 2 gigs will make it run A LOT faster.

Btw, out of the pentium duel cores, the Athlon 64x2 and the core 2 duos, the core 2 duos are the best. Oh, and a mobo is just short for a motherboard.

I bought the same Dell those pentium dual core processor's (e2140,e2160 and e2180)are based on core 2 architecture but with only 1 MB of cache and the Inspiron 530 can be upgraded to the E6850 core2duo which is what i did with my Vostro 200.
