How do you calculate US prices to NZ prices?

First, find out what the names of the two currencies are called. US currency is United States Dollar (USD). NZ currency is New Zealand Dollar (NZD). The go to Google and type in (for the situation of converting $100 USD to NZD): $100 USD to NZD

Google has a currency conversion function that will calculate the amount. I just typed that into Google and the first thing that came up in the search was: 100 U.S. dollars = 138.331719 New Zealand dollars

You can do this for any form of currency.

Also, instead of doing that, you could just go here: http:/www.google.com/finance/converter and do it. That is a link to the Google currency converter page.

Why should most computer buyers avoid spending money on the fastest computer chips?

Most computer buyers don't really know what they need. Most buyers compare computers but don't really understand the differences. They see that 1 has a few better parts than the others, but they don't know what makes them better. In truth, A "better" computer processor increases the speed and efficiency of a computer, especially when handling multiple applications. A dual core Pentium 4 processor will handle pretty much any job you need done. Going beyond that will only benefit you if you want the most minimal processing time (which may be improved by only like seconds) which is usually for gamers and those using multiple applications at once.

What is the difference between Pentium 4 and core 2 duo?

Pentium D is nothing but 2 Prescott Processors side by side…

When it runs, it tends to get very hot, and is hence not a good OverClocker…

Intel Core 2 Duo processors are next gen processors from Intel on 65 nm platform… developed from Ground Up with new architecture called Core… so they are whole new Processors.

Expect one Core 2 Duo Lowest End Processors like E4400/E4300 taking up and beating Intel Pentium D 3.8 GHz ones with ease … runs damn cool and super over clocker…

Intel Dual Core Processors are just launched striped down version of Core 2 Duos.. there are 2 in the market for Desktop range, E2140 runs at 1.6 GHz with 1 MB L2 and 800 MHz FSB and E2160 with 1.8 GHz with same specs of E2140…. these are not Pentium D rather they are same batch like Core 2 Duo based on the new Core Technology…. they perform same like Core 2 Duos but they were launched with a very low price to counter the market of super low cost but high performer AMD X2 range line up to AMD X2 4000….
