Crush your enemies, climb the tower of paperwork -- or do both at the same time. Intel's Core 2 Quad Q8200 not only makes it possible, it makes it easy. The Core 2 Quad Q8200 has four cores that run at 2.33GHz and shares 4MB of L2 cache.
Quad cores means true multi-tasking and multi-threading. Tasks or threads get their own core; no more sharing one core and set of clock cycles. This lets you turn your system into the ultimate home entertainment center PC. One core handles the usual action on your operating system, while the second can play a DVD on the TV, the third download a file from internet, and the fourth one sends audio to the kids in another room with no lags or stutters. All this is made easier with Intel’s advanced Digital Media Boost.
The 45nm Intel Core 2 Quad processor is armed with Intel HD Boost, which implementing new Intel Streaming SIMD Extension 4.1 (Intel SSE4.1) instructions for fast high definition video editing and encoding, enhance the multimedia performance.

Only Quad without VT
- Pros: Just wanted to post that according to Intel, this is the only quad without VT http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/chart/core2quad.htm
Hopefully NewEgg lets me post that link. I believe the customers should be aware.
Its a great chip otherwise...
- Cons: No VT, but thats not going to impact the majority as I see it.
- Other Thoughts: I think this is a good fast chip in a good solid price range. I recommend this chip for others.
- Pros: great performance, runs cool, good price for 45nm! runs @ 2.83GHz on stock volts (1.18v) prime stable! & performs virtually identical vs a Q9550 (runs @ 2.83GHz stock)!
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: Looks to be an excellent replacement for the q6600, as it appears intel will be discontinueing the q6600 :(
