Advantages: fast and responsive (though ciao's still slow)
Disadvantages: ummm it's not a quad core

had this cpu for week now happy with the performance in desktop applications, and in gaming; in counter strike source my fps is now between 60-70 running the cpu at stock which is ace. The three best aspects of this processor is the dual core, which helps immensely with multi tasking so if you are like me get bored easily and try and do many things at once this cpu will deal with it fine. Secondly the cache size is a really healthy 2mb which delfinately ... Read review

Advantages: high overclocking, dual core
Disadvantages: none

This cpu is very cheap and gives more power overclocked then any other core 2 duo processor I am using Scythe Infinity to cool it down and on 1,5V it is running at 3,6 GHz 100% overclock My motherboard is Asus P5B Deluxe WIFI/AP All fans in my PC are running on 5V not 12V so it is very quiet, 120 mm fan on scythe infinity runs on 5V as well After overclocking all benchmarks and ratings doubled leaving behind all dual core cpu's Temperature of ...

Advantages: Cheap upgrade with great cache memory
Disadvantages: not the fastest or best, most Core 2's are much better

This is an okay machine that fails to ignite or excite you with its performance. I am still amazed that a quad-core can be only 1.86 GHz in memory. I mean so many good Core 2 Duos pack over 2 Gigs its a wonder you get this minnow. The E5320 has good bus speed of 1066 MHz and large cache memory of 8mb, performing well when doing work-related activities. However if you are after an entertainment machine to watch movies, play games or download stuff ... Read review

Advantages: Price,Great value = performance/money , stability, low power consumption
Disadvantages: There are faster dual and quad core processors on market

This new Intel core 2 processor E6320 replaces the old Core Duo E6300, and has a series of notable advantages over the latter one. I tested both products and one thing is sure, by adding two extra MB on the processor die, the performance increased quite a little. I've tested both processors in several aplications and the speed difference varies from almost none (rendering), to notable in encoding, compressing, multimedia (3-6 % speed increase) and ...
...the same price like E6300 processor The speed is just great for it's price and if you thing it isn't fast enough this processor is highly overclockable. my tested version worked until 2.93 Ghz with the stock cooler included and without increased core voltage The stability of this core 2 processor is great, never experienced a single type of problem in 10 hour of testing. The power consumption in great, this processor using the B2 technology stepping ... Read review

Advantages: Stable Temperature.
Disadvantages: -

...XP SP2. I like this AMD processor because have dual core system and more faster than Intel Pentium Core Duo 2.2Ghz. I use ECS GeForce6100PM-M2 mainboard, DDR2 1Ghz, onboard VGA sharing up to 512MB. Then I try run The Sims game and wow.... I don't believe it, run stable and quick load when play. I can play NBA Live 2007 game too without using PCI-E VGA card. This AMD processor very quiet and the temperature is always stable. I try it all using original ... Read review
