Advantages: cheap, reliable good for everyday tasks.
Disadvantages: you can't expect too much

Got this processor in a cheap Medion pc (from tescos £300) about six months ago was intially very impressed by the frequency 3.33 ghz which sounds good. However this is deceiving to the performance of the cpu i.e. though it handles simple pc tasks such as non demanding things like the internet it often slows down and nearly constantly runs at 100% frequency or quite near that level. Game performance with this cpu is poor and will lead to low fps ...
...cache size 512k, adequete cache size is one of the main neccesitys for good pc gaming and intensive applications. In conclusion value for money but you get what you pay for, if your thinking of upgrading i'd delfinately go for a dual core processor for the sake of twenty pounds extra. ... Read review

Advantages: Price, value, performance, ease of setup
Disadvantages: Extreme performance outruled, long term viability...

As one of the more standard - mid-high end processors available today, the 3ghz chip is useful for most average and moderately demanding programs and games. When coupled with the correct memory, and graphics card you cant really go wrong, however for users who demand the most out of their system it doesnt really fit the bill. For a start, its an excellent product if you're on a budget, weighing in at less then £120 nowadays its a real bargain. BUT, ...
...fanatics who loves to squeeze every last bit of juice out of their system, its not ideally a system you'll want to be purchasing soon, considering 4GHZ+ chips are now available. Works like a dream for me, easy to install, easy to follow the instructions, and help from intels website like ive never seen. The games I tested using it: DOOM3, FarCry, and 3dMark cpu tester. All came out relatively well, but thats considering i have a 9600XT graphics ... Read review

Advantages: FAST, Retail box comes with fan, sticker, manual
Disadvantages: More expensive than Celerons, AMDs, etc

...well as one of those Intel Pentium 4 ‘Intel Inside’ stickers. If you were to buy an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) version of the CPU, then you would not get the box, the documents, the heatsink and fan or the sticker. The warranty would also be a lot shorter. My retail boxed CPU has a 3 year limited warranty, which isn’t bad. Installation of the CPU was the same as any other CPU. First, lift the leaver to unlock the socket so the CPU’s pins ...
...the price as being an Intel Pentium, the price is higher than other CPU’s such as AMD’s, but if you do opt for the cheaper AMD, then you would need a whole different board so you have to plan ahead. Buying a board made for Pentiums/Celerons and then deciding on an AMD won’t help. Is it worth it? Well, that depends on what you use your computer for. I can’t recommend a high-end computer capable of running the latest 3D games, 3D rending applications, ... 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

Advantages: fairly good price, dual core, 2.66 ghz, 4m L2 cache
Disadvantages: fan is somewhat hard to install

This E6750 is the processor running in my computer as I write this review. In my opinion I couldn't have chosen a better CPU for what I was looking for. I was looking to spend around 200 USD for a processor and I wanted it to be very powerful so that I could run demanding programs and all of the most recent games. This processor combined with my 8800 gts 320md graphics card put on a show when it comes to graphics displays. I have yet to be disappointed ... Read review
