Intel Pentium E5200 Wolfdale 2.5GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor BX80571E5200

Pros: CHEAP!!!!! 2 cores. Overclock like crazy. Stock cooler is very small yet keeps it running very cool!

Cons: I wish it had 4 cores.

Other Thoughts: After 4 years of fast and flawless processing, this chip is unbreakable and unbeatable in its price range.

Pros: Never had an issue with an Intel processor.

Cons: Could be cheaper.

Pros: -CHEAP-
4.125ghz...
tha's 165% with a nice fan
what else do you want me to say?

Cons: FSB wall on mine is just over 330

Pros: Very fast processor, and is able to run multiple applications at the same time, without any problems.

Cons: Did not find any.

Pros: Such a world of difference moving my Mother's PIII processor out and moving this one in! I love how cheap they have become for the dual core, makes it hard not to upgrade.

Cons: Not a 3.0 GHz... None other than that.

Pros: Bought this to upgrade a HTPC. Great proc, not much else to say.

Cons: None

Pros: I bought this processor many months ago to build a brand new computer, and upgrade from my old Intel Pentium 4, 3.0GHz desktop computer. It much faster than a 3.0Ghz processor, and it supports 64 bit operating systems, including Windows Vista Ultimate & Windows 7 64-bit editions.

It is of course a little outdated, and is not as fast as the latest Intel Core 2 Duo processors; therefore, it is well worth the price. I bought this processor in the December of 2008, for about $95 (with shipping and tax), and for the current price, it is well worth it for the first computer builder.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Works very well with games. I ran many simultaneous applications at the same time, and the computer did not slow down at all. Including anti-virus, internet browser, defrag, website editing, and other image editing software.

Runs pretty fast.

Pros: I've used these all the time for budget builds and they overclock with little effort to 3.2 - 3.33 ghz on budget motherboards with only the basic O/C options.

Fast speed for a decent price, more than the average internet surfer would ever need.

Cons: It is a socket 775 chip-- That platform is dying, so there is little upgrade potential (other than used parts) with this type of system.

Other Thoughts: Can't go wrong with this CPU... When overclocked, it compares to most major OEM computers with "faster" processors.

Pros: Ive been using this CPU for about 5 months now. The first day I got it I overclocked it to 3.5ghz. This CPU has been rock solid from day one.
Voltage is at 1.3125
I am using an artic freezer 7 pro. Idle temps are mid 20's, full load mid 40's

Cons: Doesnt get hot enough to function as a heater during the winter months

Pros: Bought this to put into my new HTPC. Wanted something fast and very cheap that I could OC to solid performance without raising the voltage. Runs fairly cool, no voltage increase, 3.4ghz. No crashes. Excellent processor here that's well designed and performs beautifully.

Cons: Nothing reasonable to complain about. If you want me to really dig -- It's not unlocked? Small cache. Stock HSF could be better and quieter.

Other Thoughts: Amazing price to performance ratio processor if you overclock it a bit.
