Mainly I recommend these processor for office use only. But if you want to play games with it.. then the best configuration will be
1. 1333mhz capable motherboard
2. 2GB of DDR2 800mhz RAM
3. ATI 3850 or Geforce 8800gs graphics card
4. Western digital/ Maxtor hard disk
5. case, keyboard, mouse.....etc
Installation of the processor is easy. It is same as core 2...

Advantages: video and audio editing programms and apps run extremely well on Intel Pentium 4 530J 3 GHz Disadvantages: Not that good choice for gamers , stalls in some games
...Intel Pentium 4 530J 3 GHz is a fast processor at a reasonable price.
althought it is a bit noisy its very helpful.i can run a lot of programs at once something that i didnt expect. i have opened at least 20 programms and games and runs great. really representing the value of money. really worth it.
It supports Hyper-Threading Technology and features a 1MB L2 cache, an 800MHz front side bus and active heatsink.
Also supports the Intel 7721 chip set in the 775 pin PLGA package.
Recommended for users video and audio editing programms better then my Athlon 64 socket 939 3200+ that i use only for gaming.Programms like sony vegas run extremely well on Intel Pentium 4 530J 3 GHz along with some other programms.
Very nice processor overall....

Advantages: real fast, does more in less time, econimic and much more Disadvantages: absolutely nothing
...The new Q6600 from Intel is fantastic, its real fast, it does things in less time. I own this processor and I only have good things to say about it its really good, and a fantastic price you can get from £170 only thats the best processor for this price. Ah one advice as it is four cores it is highly recomended that you use water cooled systems, but you don't need to worry too much, if you have a high end air cooler and your case has a good ventilation that should be fine at least my one is and only consume about 110w which makes it not heat that much as the others processors mainly AMD processors. Thats it The Best Processor ever from Intel at this price.

As a gamer, I needed the best processor out there. Searching around, the only real debate in this price range was whether to go for the E6850, a dual core CPU, or the Q6600, a quad core at a lower clock. After looking at many different benchmarks and... more
