this intel pentium4 dual core, or probably pentiumD, what is its
highest processing speed and which of them is the best. for fast
reading please reply (e-mail address removed)
 
The Pentium D (2x Pentium 4 cores on one chip) was produced in two
different core versions:

Smithfield, which has 1MBx2 L2 cache and is based off 2x 90nm Prescott
cores, ran at speeds of 2.66GHz up to 3.20GHz - but this chip
overheated terribly.

Presler, which has 2MBx2 L2 cache and is based of 2x 65nm Cedar Mill
cores, ran at speeds from 2.8GHz up to 3.6GHz. It was much better with
heat, running a lot cooler.

The fastest would be the Pentium D 960 at 3.6GHz but anything from
3GHz and up should be more than enough - if you need even more
performance, go for a Core 2 Duo or the cheaper Pentium Dual-Core
E2000 series, which still beats the fastest Pentium D.

I'm sure there was/is a 3.8GHz P4?

Yes, Pentium 4: 570, 571 using Prescott core and 670, 672 using Cedar
Mill. They did not produce a 3.8GHz Pentium D as the heat issue would
have been to difficult to handle.
