    Advantages Advantages Incredible performance and Extremely overclockable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Overclockers will need an expensive motherboard to gain the best results

    The E6300 is the cheapest of Intel's Core 2 Duo's with an average price range of around £120 and runs at a steady 1.86Ghz with 2 physical cores and a FSB of 1,066MHZ. Now before I loose you in techno jargon I will explain what the E6300 basically is. The E6300 is Intels baby CPU from there new(ish) line of Core 2 Duos, although far from a baby this new dawn in Core architecture's, enables the processors to run faster, cooler and more efficently than ever before. Intels Core architecture has created a greater core efficency, allowing the cores to run at lower frequencies than standard ... more

    5 Stars Value for money 13/01/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Performance and features

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Lower cache and clock speed than its bigger brothers

    The Core 2 Duo E6300 is the slowest processor out of the Core 2 Duo range (until Intel releases the E4300). However, dont let this fool you into believing that the performance of the processor will be poor. The new Core 2 Duo range of processors are cutting-edge and most people agree that it is the best processor out on the market. I certainly believe this, because my personal experience of the Core 2 Duo is simply that of raw performance. The Core 2 Duo is Intel's answer to AMDs dual core processors. And quite simply, it is better. If you are buying or making a pc today, unless you have a ... more

    5 Stars Intel's Core 2 Duo E6300 21/03/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Fast, Dual-Core, Overclockable, Great for Gaming

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Price?

    This is an excellent processor from Intel. It is using the new Core 2 Duo technology. This is a dual-core, meaning that it can preform multiple functions, such as browsing the web and listening to music while burning a cd, very well. This is one of the less expensive processors from the new line. However, I have found it to be the the processor that has the best value. It is an excellent buy and is strongly recommended for all new computers that can afford to spend this much on a processor. For those interested in overclocking, it offers unbeatable potential. A huge overclock, meaning about 3 ... more

    Advantages Advantages Fast, Efficient, Reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Expensive

    I have had this processor around a year now, and have had a brilliant experience with it. Since I've had it it hasn't lost any performance, even though I had a small problem with thermal paste. I have this version in my main 1GB, GeForce 7900GS PC, and also a laptop versions in my Advent notebook. I've used it in a ton of games, such as Counter Strike Source, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Oblivion, S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl, Age Of Empires III, Warcraft 3, World of Warcraft, The Sims 2, The Sims, Half Life 2, Half Life, Counter Strike 1.6, Counter Strike Condition Zero, Rome: Total ... more
