Advantages: Cheap, Powerfull Disadvantages: Small L2 cache
...This is brilliant processor for its small price. In fact i like it so much, im writing this review using it right now.
It is really easily over clocked using the right mother board. Personally, i have overclocked to 2.5Ghz using a cheap Gigabyte motherboard and an arctic cooling freezer 7 pro heat-sink fan unit. I have found that it is brilliant for multi-tasking. Even the programs that heavily use CPU power are done with ease on this powerful little processor, all down to its 2cores. As for heat, obviously depending on case cooling and heat-sink fan, its not too bad. In my computer i have 3 additional 80cm fans for cooling as well as the heat-sink fan and im peaking at 45 degrees Celsius.
The only disadvantage i can see with the CPU would be the L2 cache size. At only 1GB its not as fast as the Core2 Duo CPU's but at this price its...

Advantages: Fast speed processer, can run windows vista Disadvantages: The design
...Quit fast and ready with the protection you need, also this computer is ready for windows for windows vista. so you can update it later on,
This computer if runing a 2.8ghz processer so you can easy run a few games if your into that,
Also this computer will be able to run windows vista.
These computer are easy to update the drivers so it is easy to make this computer faster, but this does not need to be updated for another few years,
This computer will also run the Windows 2007 office pack, so you can work faster with this,
Tha value for this price is quite good and the manufacturer is one of the best out there at the moment,...

Advantages: Cheap, silent, easy to overclock Disadvantages: Heatsink can be a bit fiddlly to install
...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 dualcore 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....

The low end processors market is not as greatly disputed such as mainstream and high end processor market and also if you noticed few reviews are written about them, few more
This is my second Toshiba Satellite. Until recently I have been using a slightly dated but very effective Toshiba Satellite L10-114. Having recently purchased this new one though, I have to say there is a substantial improvement over my old lap top.... more
A fully featured VAIO notebook for under £500. This has to be worth looking into. Sony VAIO Notebooks are famous for being industry leaders but also for being overpriced. Now this Laptop has the quality and stylish look as do all VAIO's but not the price more
