With the right motherboard this cpu can be overclocked to 3 GHZ with no problem.
Even on a cheap motherboard (abit ip95)i have overclocked to 2.2GHz just by raising the fsb by 10%

The processor is excellent for anyone building a cheap HTPC teamed up with 1GB DDR/DDR2 ram and a cheap pci graphics card this will run windows vista ultimate with ease.

The dual core enables you to run multi applications without any slow down of the pc.

It is nearly silent with the supplied fan and heatsink and even overclocked it run cooler than my previous cpu (pentuim 4 2.8)

I have benchmarked this processor against a E4300 and can see no difference in performance in everyday use.

Installation couldn't be easier altought the clips on the the heatsink can be a bit fiddly.
