Power & speed for less

Advantages: Fast, Very overclockable.
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest upgrade, Requires DD3 memory, X58 i1333 motherboard

...comes with a stock intel cooler that it comes with is great at cooling the CPU, you may want to invest in a bigger fan if pushing the clock speed which some have got up to an incredible 4.0Ghz from 2.6Ghz, I have tried to get to this figure but my system became unstable, although i did not try tweaking many settings. Running this CPU with 12Gb of DDR3 on windows 7 Build 7100, everything installed and booted up first time. You will need to invest ...

...fuss was about with the Intel C2D CPU's i have never looked back, These CPU's far out-perform their AMD Rivals. Although there are advantages to the AMD CPU's i would still much advise the Intel CPU's as i believe their Pro's outweigh the Pros of the AMD CPU's. These CPU's are also well suited to office and design applications as they can handle multiple applications with ease. Due to it being the socket 775 type the installation is also incredibly ...

Taking a chance on my pc.

Advantages: Very fast with dual core great for games and editing videos or images
Disadvantages: The fan supplied is quite loud but you can change it.

...not planning on buying an Intel one or a cpu but I am glad I did. The reason I did so was because he said it was one of the best out. So I had my dual core CPU after about a week of finding the other parts i started to install windows to my horror the hard drive I bought off eBay started to make a strange noise. it had to be sent to Holland for repair but as soon as I got it back and installed xp windows it worked very fast and reliably and I have ...
...am glad I stuck with Intel instead of amd I use my computer for editing videos and playing games which need lots of memory. I am glad that I did not research this and took a chance because it paid off. The only real problem is the Intel fan makes allot of noise so I will be changing it soon. I do not know how easy or hard it was to install because when if bought it he said he would put the two parts together. The motherboard cost less than the CPU ...

Great CPU For Price

Advantages: 6 Mb L2 Cache and 1333 Fsb is great
Disadvantages: No Disadvantages found yet.

I did a lot of research and satisfied on this model for many good reasons. I checked a lot of benchmarks from cpubenchmark.net and on toms hardware before buying this processor. I bought this cpu month ago. Its very fast and stable. Core i7 and Quads are far ahead from this cpu on benchmark but they are costly. 6 Mb of cache and 1333 fsb is pretty attractive. Overclocked this beast to 4.00ghz with only 1.31 voltage. Do not overclock this cpu with ...
