Yes. The "D" after Pentium stands for "duo" as in dual core (2 cores)
The Pentium D is basically a dual-cored version of the Pentium 4. It is nowhere near as efficient or powerful as a Core 2 Duo, and it actually generates slightly more heat than a Pentium 4.
It has 4 ALU units. A Pentium 4 has 2 ALU units. The Pentium D is like 2 P4's....sooo..... 2 cores x 2 ALU's each = 4
The Intel Pentium D, Core Duos (and Solos), Core 2 Duos (and Quads), Pentium Dual-Cores, and the Core i7.

Pentium D is just the name Intel gave to that particular line of processors. Dual core technology means that the single chip has two processors on it. This makes it capable of executing two commands at the same time. Do not confuse Pentium D dual core with the newer Core 2 Duo. They are vastly different chips. The Core 2 Duo (and the Core 2 Quad) core chips are greatly improved over the Pentium D chips. Pentium D is just the name Intel gave to that particular line of processors.

The socket type for the I31GM4 motherboard is LGA 775, which supports Intel Core 2 Duo, Pentium Dual-Core, Pentium D, Pentium 4, and Celeron processors.
According to the manufacturers website the 775i65G is compatible with: Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme / Core™ 2 Duo / Pentium® XE / Pentium® D / Pentium® 4 / Celeron® D, supporting Quad Core Kentsfield processors
The Pentium D is not much faster than a standard Pentium 4,and it uses more power. Dual core processors are the fastest available at this time.
You can use any LGA775 Pentium 4, Pentium D, or Celeron D with an 800, 533, or 400 Mhz FSB.
A Pentium D in a computer is used to handle intensive games and multi tasking. It is powered by two core processors that offers exceptional functionality.
Yes. The Intel D945GNT motherboard supports dual-core Pentium D processors.
No. Each core runs at 2.8 GHz. Threads can be run on each of the processors at the same time, drastically improving performance in certain situations. It does not mean that the computer is linearly twice as fast though.
