Apr 3, 2012 at 23:56 comment added kodlu Of course I meant $A(x)$ is the same value as the first sum, i.e., is asymptotically $\sum_{n\leq x} d(n)$, for $x$ large enough.
Apr 3, 2012 at 23:47 comment added kodlu @Woett: Thanks, you're right. So $A(x)$ is the same value as the second sum for $x$ large enough. @GH: Are you able to comment some more on the case $f(x)$ a power of $\log x$?
Apr 3, 2012 at 17:49 comment added Woett We definitely have $d(n) = o(n^{\epsilon})$. So $min[d(n), f(x)] = d(n)$ if $f(x) \ge cx^{\alpha}$. Am I missing something?
Apr 3, 2012 at 7:00 comment added kodlu @GH: I am sorry, I meant to put in min, so Large values of d(n) get truncated.

Corrected by replacing Max with Min
Apr 3, 2012 at 6:52 comment added GH from MO The difference between the two sums comes from small values of $d(n)$, namely from those less than $f(x)$. Your candidates $f(x)$ make the second sum very simple, namely $xf(x)$. Things become interesting for much smaller $f(x)$ such as a power $\log x$.
