Hey everyone need some quick advice. I'm throwing a basic system together for my cousin. He currently has a dell that has a Pentium D 940 3.2 Ghz Processor in it. I'm building him a new system. I have an E2140 1.6 Ghz processsor that I'm trying to sell. For the Motherboard we're using an ASUS P5N-MX. We are using 2 Gigs of PC5300 RAM. About all he will be using the PC for is surfing net and typing documents. The only game he plays is World of Warcraft, so I'm getting him an 8400GS as I think that would be sufficeint. I'm trying to decide weather to use his older Pentium D, or be a nice cousin and let him have the E2140. I'm just not sure which is actually a better processor, the older pentium D, or the newer smaller e2140. If someone could actually explain why one is better than the other I would appreciate that as well as I am learning! Thanks as any advice would be helpful. Thanks!
