Suggestions for Core 2 Duo systems that use PCI - not PCI express?

Right now I'm running a 2.4 gig P4 on a Soyo Dragon mobo. I could upgrade to a socket 478 3.4gig processor and get about a 30% bump in speed which wouldn't be bad, but it's my understanding going to a Core 2 Duo chip I could see a much bigger increase. I dont need to be on the cutting edge, what Core 2 chips should I look for that would net me about 3x the speed of that 2.4gig P4? I'm favoring Intel unless you feel there's a really compelling reason to go with someone else. . I still want to run XP - all my software works with it and I'd like to stay with PCI slots, not PCI express so I can swap over hardware I've already got. The more PCI slots the better - like 5 or more. Does such an animal exist - i.e. Core 2 duo system with lots of PCI slots? Thanks for all input Go to tomshardware and decide for you self with the cpu comparison charts! or go here http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ |
