That's some pretty lowbrow humor there weskurtz. I thought you were better than that. 
To the OP: The D 920 actually performs a little bit worse than the e2140 on average. You definitely don't want to pay more for less performance. Stick with the Pentium E2140.

I know, I slip up every now and then and say something stupid. 
(couldn't find the embarrassed smiley)......
Just to give you a back ground on the Pentium D-eez nutz..... When I was in the military (there is a key to the entire thing) a good friend of mine bought an 820 thinking it would be a good performer. He, at that time, was an Intel fanboy. I had a X2 3800 which pretty much blew his 820 away in every task. So, when we would start to discuss his Pentium D I would chime in with the afore mentioned phrase.
When I posted it I know I was being childish, but despite my better judgment I posted it.
To add something useful to this thread. Stay away from the Pentium D's and all of netburst. If you cannot afford Core 2 and the Pentium D is less expensive(don't know the pricing at this time) go with AMD. If the price is close, and you can afford it, go with any of the Core 2 cpu's. You will be much better off and will not regret it.
