Full review
The Celeron 2.8GHz is a fairly cheap processor, but cheap things come with disadvantages. It tends to run nice and cool at about 30C-35C most the time but during long (or sometimes short) gaming sessions things start to slow down and causes a huge hit in FPS, which can be seen going from 60fps to 10fps or less due to the cache being so small and the simple fact that the processor is a Celeron (cut down version of a Pentium) I would advise people to go for a Pentium or even a Conroe if your using this for gaming, unless your only doing things such as 2d work, emailing, web browsing then this processor is more than adequate for that kind of work.

Be warned: if you are using a socket LGA 755 youll have a nightmare trying to install the heatsink for this thing, once you get two clips on its next to impossible to get the third or fourth clamped down.
