Advantages: Very Fast, Stock fan is not too loud Disadvantages: Further overclocking would require a better fan
...This is the fastest standard Intel Core2Duo you can buy, the E6850 has a 333Mhz FSB which is 1,333Mhz Effective so it has more memory bandwidth than its descendants.
The E6850 has a VID of 1.35V most of the time (some of them have a VID of 1.3v although it's uncommon) and runs slightly hotter than a E6750 with a VID of 1.3, during my tests I also noticed it is harder to overclock than an E6750 but only by a small amount, me getting the clock speeds of the E6850 up to 3.45Ghz while I managed to get the E6750 up to just under 3.65Ghz, this was just with the boxed fans that came with the processors, although if you bought custom coolers, you would get much better.
Conclusion:
While I could not get it to overclock as high as an E6750 in my tests, you could easily reach over 4Ghz if you bought good enough cooling for it, however...

Advantages: Fast, good overclocking potential; the best for games (and virtually all other applications) Disadvantages: Runs fairly warm, but nothing terrible
...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 reviews, the answer was clear - the higher clocked part (the E6850) was a more power processor, giving better performance in games, and better performance in most ofther software applications as well. The message is as clear now as it was then, 6 months ago when I bought this product; current applications do not need 4 cores to run quickly, especially games. If I was particularly interested in video editing, then I may have gone for a quad-core, but for my purposes it wasn't nescessary. Not only that, but I have used video editing software on this, and it will render incredibly quickly - I...

Advantages: Quick, runs cool, easy to overclock Disadvantages: None
...version, simply because it is far better at overclocking and you will be able to get greater speeds with the CPU being stable. Straight out of the box the CPU runs cooler than I expected anyway, which makes it able to reach clocks up to about 3.4GHz, which is very impressive.
For the price you can't get any better. If you're thinking about buying a faster dual core processor like the E6750 or E6850, DON'T! More cores is the way technology is advancing, and although the dual cores may seem faster, these quad cores are far better, can over clock more and will last you longer in the long run as more and more programs begin to use four cores.
This is an absolute bargain for what you get, and is simply the best processor you can get in terms of bang for your buck...
