Difference between Intel CPU's
Can someone tell me what the actual difference is between Intel CPU's as I have had a search , a Google and come up with data sheets and they all look basically the same in their specs except for the bus and CPU speeds.
Ones I have been looking at are used Pentium D/Pentium 4/ and the E#### series to use on Intel boards D945GCNL – it currently has an E4500@2.2Ghz but the machine runs slowly (Vista) and D985GF/D965SS/DQ963GS/DQ986LL (all four refs are printed on it although the processor sticker on the board - DQ963GS which comes up in a Google search as the board!?) for a refurb of my old Dell to take Win7.
As a matter of interest a Google shows there are no such board/s as those four that are inlaid on the board I quoted?
