They all stink...? They are all single core processors, compared to a Intel Core 2 Duo even a low end 2GHz will out pace a P4 3Ghz.

They will all be able to run Windows 7, however out of those I would choose the Pentium 4 3.0GHz. Since they are all relatively old models, you might be better considering newer CPUs.

Yeah I know, but its for my son at it will be his first computer just building a tower for him but wasnt sure what would be ok in it to run Windows 7
The P4 will it be ok or will XP be better and faster (sort of speak)

Also are the 3 of these the same pins? if so what type are they as I may get another cpu depending on the board.

Thanks

If you're considering building him one, as opposed to buying a ready-assembled model, what is your absolute upper price limit that you are willing to pay, and where are you located? Based on that, others should be able to give you a guide on what is the best value for the money available.
