Intel Pentium D 830 vs. Pentium E2200

[weaselgopher]

Hello. I'm rebuilding my computer to try to get as much life as I can out of it, and I'm not sure which of my two processors are better. Could you help me?

I also have two graphics cards: a GeForce 9400 GT 1GB and a GeForce GT 430. I just don't understand all the different specifications and how to know which one is better overall. Thank you!

gt430 is better than the 9400

Thank you for responding! I'll go with the E2200 then. I'm hoping to upgrade to Ivy Bridge soon, but I'm not quite there yet.

As for the graphics cards, I read that the 9400 is better. I'm using it for games like Fable III and Team Fortress 2.

That's a 9800 GT in your comparison NOT a 9400.
