Pentium D 805 vs Pentium D 820

[Istonian]

Which one do you prefer. The 820 looks better, but the 805 is said to oc real nice.

EDIT: Sorry for posting in the general hardware and software section. Mods move it if you want.

im gonna go with the 820, just because i have it. the 805 just seems like the lower end junk IMO.

820 looks like the better proc

The FSB of the 805 is only 533, while the FSB of the 820 is 800 MHz. But that also means that the 805 has some great potential for overclocking.

Seeing as they're the same price retail on newegg, I'd go for the 820. The 820 will OC at least as far as the 805. If you're willing to go the OEM route and you're getting an aftermarket cooler, I'd say get the 805 though since it's only $70:

dude listen to me....if you want to game definately get a 900 pent d...or ne thing in the 900 series because the 800's suck for gaming man...like i have a 925 3.0ghz (on each core) 4mb l2cache...and 800mhz fsb...which is a great powerful processor....and it was only $130 while you 820 woud be $95....and even a pent d 915 is only $97!..and its 2.8ghz...and has 2mb more of l2 cache...dude go with the 915 for sure man!

Ok thanks. I didn't know that about the 900 series. I will be checking that out.

the 805 is a light version of the 820. It's a budget Dual Core CPU. Get the 820. FSB of 533 compared to a FSB of 800MHZ

because of the low prices, go with the better one. The price difference is negligible between the two processors. Might want to check in on the 9xx or the C2D,
