[ale] Which chip would you select?

[Barlow, Jim D]

I would go with the dual core in a heartbeat.  I do a lot of compiling
and would find that beneficial.

The dual core is much more beneficial than the Hyperthreading even at
the slower socket speed, if you are doing multitasking.   If you are
running a single single threaded application, the Pentium 4 might be
just fine.

The 945 is a much more capable chipset than the 865 -- two generations
farther ahead.

I have each of the below processors but I have to give up one of them. 
Which would you select?  I've heard that the 805D is a better chip for
overclocking but I like the specs on the Pentium 4.  The rest of the
specs
are similar(both Asus motherboards, ATI video cards, 2 gig of memory,
etc)

BTW, This will be a development box that will dual boot Fedora and that
other OS...
