Rating + 5 Awesome Value


Pros: This processor was used to improve the performance of an older machine. The previous processor was an E2200, and I can safely say that the upgrade has made this a whole new machine - it's noticeably faster and more responsive at pretty much everything. Overall a fantastic purchase. Runs cool, provides plenty of processing power, all in all a great value.

Cons: None as of yet.

Rating + 5 Fast and quiet


Pros: The processor runs nice and fast and the fans are very quiet. I have had no problems with it.

Cons: It took me a while to get the fan seated into the motherboard properly, but maybe that was just my inexperience so I won't take a star off for that.

Other Thoughts: I didn't know this, but the stock fan that comes with it has thermal compound already on it, so if you plan to use the stock cpu fan then you won't need to buy thermal compound. I'm running a standard cpu speed, no overclocking.

Pros: Beautiful packaging. Nice quiet fan and it works. The best thing about the Core 2 Duo's is that they run cooler than most other processors but still give you computation power! You will like.

Cons: The little things make me nervous when trying to install them.

Other Thoughts: I wonder when they will have a sheepdale?

Rating + 5 Fast!


Pros: Installed very easily. Runs great. No issues after installation.

Cons: Thermal paste is pre-applied to the heatsink and the installation instructions for the heatsink are not particularly clear.

The arrows on the connecting pegs indicate the direction to turn when removing the heatsink (as opposed to the direction to turn to lock the heatsink in place).

Having never installed one before, it was disappointing to have the heatsink not click in place after the thermal paste had been smooshed onto the processor.

Rating + 5 Good to go


Pros: Fast, consistent, good quality. The old style PS2 plugs for the keyboard are retro and pretty cool. I don't use the internal sound card, so I wouldn't know about the 7.1 features. The board never runs hot.

Cons: Noisy, the fan does it's job, but it makes some noise. My AMD 4800+ is less noisy. This is not a major problem, the board never runs hot.

Other Thoughts: Good CPU for the buck, the Linux HAL got everything immediately.

Rating + 5 Great Processor!


Pros: For what I do...it's amazingly fast. I would recommend this CPU to anyone who isn't gaming or doing intense computing.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: I built my PC with my budget in mind and this processor just made sense. $120 for a 2.93GHz dual core processor? I think so. Installation was a breeze. Other reviews I've read complain about the stock heatsink and fan, but really, I had no problems snapping them in. Let's talk temperatures. I've seen mine idle anywhere from 27-30C as well as 37-40C, which simply tells me that it is a matter of the ambient temps. So before anybody starts subtracting eggs for temperatures, test your rigs with room temperatures in mind…they play a big role! My tower is sitting in my bedroom which ranges from 66-75F so obviously the temps of my CPU are going to vary. At room temperature however, this thing ran between 33-35C Idle. Pretty decent seeing as It's all air cooling and stock. I am using Tuniq TX-2 thermal paste and it seems to be doing just fine.

Rating + 5 Great


Pros: Dual core, can easily reach 3.33Ghz.
Anti virus and defrag programs can run at the same time with little to no slowdown.

Cons: Not all programs utilize multi-core yet, other then that, none.

Other Thoughts: Overclocked this cpu to 3.33Ghz with a 1.33 vcore. Runs all my games max settings with a his 4670 1Gb, games are mostly source but i also play gta sa, burnout paradise(medium with 2x aa), audiosurf, fallout 3. I previously had a p4 @ 3.0 Ghz and this thing just kills that.

Pros: Lower power consumption and higher clock speed than the e6600 it replaced

Cons: not dirt cheap yet

Other Thoughts: Most software that I run does not utilize dual core efficiently, so instead of getting a new computer with an i7 I opted to upgrade the proc with a lower power consumption and faster proc. No problems nor complaints. Quick shipping as always from the egg!

Rating + 5 Bought for a Dell Inspiron 530


Pros: Intel Virtualization Technology, which allows Windows 7 Pro to run XP Mode. (S-spec: SLGTE)

The Intel Core 2 down clocks to about 1.6ghz when usage is light. Which improves the life of the processor, and saves electricity.

A decent mid-range processor, which is usually more than enough.

Cons: Two different versions of this processor. One with Virtualization, and one without.

Pros: Super stable I have this cpu overclocked to 3.4Ghz, 1600FSB, and 1.4 volts. Even at full load it never brock 47º C this is truly the best processor i have ever owned, and up into this point i have been the biggest AMD fan boy. this is the first Intel Chip i have ever own and i dont know if i will ever go back.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: PLEASE NOTE!!! I have a good cooler, when on stock settings and my system is just idling it never brakes 20º C. And Load never brakes 35º C.

Rating + 3 No VT hurts this one


Pros: Makes a nice fast desktop for a relatively low thermal footprint and a great price point.

Cons: Processor lacks virtualization which means that a major feature of Windows 7 is not supported. I have a few apps that appear to need to be able to be installed in XP virtual mode in order to work on Win7(64 bit) and I can't do that. (It sure would be nice to be able to sync my palm!)

Come on Intel. This is a relatively new processor and apparently one of the few in the Core 2 Duo line that doesn't support VT. Must have been the marketing people that came up with this one... D*mn I hate Intel marketing people.

Other Thoughts: May end up doing a "double purchase" and buying a processor with VT unless I decide to use my wife's laptop to sync or I decide to do it in linux once I get around to dual booting my desktop machine.

Rating + 4 Good CPU


Pros: Good performance-to-cost ratio. This was easily the easiest Intel heat-sink to install of the last 5 builds; either I'm getting better or the mounts have improved - a lot.

Cons: Not hyper-threading. I kow, I know, only the S-series have hyperthreading for the LGA 775 socket, but why are they SO MUCH more expensive?

Alright, it's not a con, it's a whine...

Other Thoughts: They're just simple and easy to use, and they overclock extremely well. Now that the prices are dropping on the dual-cores, they're getting close to being a bargain.

When Office 2010 is finally released, we'll have a suite that (finally) takes advantage of the 64-bit capabilities.

Rating + 5 Intel Core2 Duo Wolfdale 2.93GHz


Pros: This is a Great processor for this money. Fast and if no real processing power is needed look no further than this Bad Lad right here. The stock fan is fine, but still have a minimum of a front fan and back fan in the case still. A side fan would also be of excellent choice for cooling you MoBo and other Components.

Cons: The factory fan is a little on the cheap side, but installed correctly it works just fine for this CPU

Other Thoughts: A person gaming with others might want to step up to another CPU with a 1333 fsb. If on a budget and still need real speed this one will do and is overclockable, but the stock fan might have to go if OC is very high.

Rating + 5 Stable but Warm


Pros: This CPU surprised me. Nice and quick! I actually wondered why I some people go above and beyond for a second or two difference. This CPU will do the job quickly and efficiently.

Cons: CPU runs a little hot for me. Idle's on stock cooler at 57c. My other CPU's from Intel around 40c on stock coolers. Contacted Intel support just to be on the safe side and this is normal for this processor. Go figure!

Other Thoughts: Was looking for a processor for a new computer I was putting together for the parents. Wanted to make the overall cost as low as possible while keeping the technology somewhat modern. This CPU was perfect. Although nearly the lowest on the Core 2 pole, this CPU holds its own! If you're looking for a chip that is stable and won't break the wallet, look no further.

Rating + 5 Fantastic Processor for the price


Pros: This is just about the best bang for your buck CPU wise outside the E8400. This thing tears through Crysis, Far Cry 2, L4D2 Demo, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and just about any game i can think of. i haven't tried GTA4 knowing that the R* did a horrible job programing the game and the fact that it loves 4 cores and video cards with 1gb of GDDR3 or GDDR5 memory interfaces.

Rig
This sexy beast of a processor
4GB DDR2 @800mhz
ATI HD 4870 512mb GDDR5
550 watt Rosewill PSU
Intel g33m02 mainboard

Cons: runs a little hot with its with my old heatsink, and thats my major con, the heatsink that the processor comes with looks really cheap and its does not come with a back mounting plate so its near impossible to mount unless you have a newer LGA775 board. but the temps arnt too high it idles for me Core#0 at 35-37c and Core#1 at 43C and the highest ive seen it go was 73c while running Intelburn stability test at its maximum level, which it passed with flying colors. also a 4-6mb level 2 cache would of been nice but im not complaining xD

Other Thoughts: great cpu. this thing has the right stuff to be rocking games at high settings for the next 2 years, by then i5's and i7's will have droped in price.

Rating + 5 Best for the money


Pros: Extremely fast and very cost effective.

Cons: I hate the CPU heat sink and fan, they're just cheesy. Invest in a Zalman fan which is bolted to the motherboard unlike these that twist into place which I find a pain. I will never use another factory CPU fan from Intel again.

Other Thoughts: I built this PC for my step daughter as an early Christmas present. Shes not much of a gamer, only IMVU. Her system is an ASUS P5LD2 v2 motherboard, this CPU, 2 gigs OCZ DDR2 ram, Western Digital hard drive, Apevia X-Cruiser case (green), and a liteon CD/DVD burner. Haven't figured out which video card to get her yet.

Pros: For the Dual-Core Processor's this is the best deal. Comparing the Processor's above it there was not much of a difference. With a good Motherboard and some decent cooling Overclocking should be a breeze.

Cons: N/A

Other Thoughts: I slapped the chip into a all new build and the customer was very happy with the results from his old Pentium 4 1.70 GHz. Newegg as always great price and fast shipping.

Pros: Great processor for the money.
It's already at 2.93 averaging close to 3.0ghz.
Upgrading my brothers computer with this processor.

Cons: No con's about this CPU.

Other Thoughts: If your looking for a decent upgrade and do not want to overkill yourself with the prices out there, then get this processor.

Cons: The heatsink and its plastic connectors are very flimsy/hard to put into motherboard. Had to use a good deal of force to get them to snap in to place and warped the motherboard a bit. Unfortunate. Ordering a new heatsink/fan to replace this stock one

Pros: Great Proc for an upgrade from an AMD Single Core. Fast enough to run most games and with a decent vid card this thing screams.

Cons: Tried to install XP Mode for Win 7 Ultimate, but found out that there is no virtualization Tech supported for the chip. A bummer, but not world ending.

Rating + 5 Not too bad


Pros: Overclocks pretty well. Running it 3.5 on the stock fan on level 6 (out of 7) with normal voltage. Runs in the mid 30's to low 40's.

Cons: Stock fan is loud and those plastic clips truely are all but useless. If you MB doesn't have a metal support bracket on the back, remove your mother board to install the heatsink and fan. That way you can line up the holes better and won't warp the board as much.

Other Thoughts: This CPU is good if you want a mid-range CPU that will last you about a year before it's considered a little out dated. you can always upgrade to a quad 2 core in a year or so. For $120.00, it's a good hold over and you overclock it to make it keep up with an e7600. Cache and FSB will keep you from breaking into 8400 territory.

Pros: POSTed right off, FSB, clock speed, multiplier...all was perfect right out of the box. Ubuntu recognized the two cores and took off running. Idling/low load temp is around 43C right now, sometimes dropping and holding at 38. I figure once the Arctic Silver breaks in it'll idle consistantly at the lower number.

Cons: Haven't had it long enough to really push it and test it. Can't speak to that yet.

Other Thoughts: I removed the thermal pads on the stock heatsink and used arctic silver instead. Just a better product. Have had zero issues...it's a new build.

Rating + 5 Best 1066 FSB CPU EVER!!!


Pros: Wicked fast in the 1066MHz FSB category!!! Runs Cool with the right heatsink and can multi-task the way I always dreamed a machine should. Can Encode video, defrag HDD and run AV scans all day long! HDD and Chipset are the new bottlenecks!

Cons: CPU Cooler is all aluminum, may be insufficient with heavy loads. That's not a criticism of the processor, just the packaging.

Other Thoughts: Running on an Intel Bad Axe2 (D975XBX2KR), Kingston 4 GB DDR2 800, MSI 4670-512MB GPU.

This replaced my trusty Pentium D 935. I re-used the Pentium's heatsink as it was the better copper core unit. Temps never exceed 55C even at full tilt.

Use this setup for Gaming (COD4&5), and video encoding. My particular board has a cap of 1066 MHz FSB so buying the E8xxx or Quad cores was not an option. Best bang for the Buck!!!

Rating + 5 Beast Overclocker


Pros: Popped it into my Evga 780i worked right away. Then the fun started...eventually got it up to 4.1ghz @412fsb @1.38v running perfectly stable and cool w/ a TRUE cooling it. I have only run super pi so far as far as benchmarks go and got results in the low 14's.

Cons: Even w/ a TRUE and and voltage @1.09 the lowest the cores will go is 41C and 31 on the CPU. Must be some sort of bug but this is my first 45nm chip so i don't have much experience w/ them. This CPU is really cheap for what you get but the 8400 is a better value I just couldn't stomach the extra $20.

Other Thoughts: I really thought I'd be able to reach 4.5ghz stable w/ this CPU. With the 11x multiplier and since its a 45nm it seemed like it had a good shot of reaching this goal. But I had no such luck this chip wouldn't post above 4.2. Of course this is no reason to drop an egg and i wouldn't even call it a con since this cpu is made to run @ 2.93 and it does it extremely well

Great job to Intel and as always Newegg did great w/ lightning fast shipping.

Drawback would be if I wanted to take the processor out for some reason and needed to put it in again (I like to tinker with other computers, test out stuff, etc.) - I gotta get some thermal paste.

Pros: I remember when I saw E7200 for $130. Now, the E7500 I got it for $135 in a Combo deal. The processor is neck and neck with common applications with the E8400 Processor. (3GHZ, 6 MB Cache) Some benchmarks this processor tops the E8400. The reviews are scarce for this CPU but I found some Australian and foreign ones.

Note* The Processor Multiplier in default was 8.5 it is suppose to be 11. (11 x 266 = 2.93). So good luck!

This is great, I recommend it!

Cons: None, except the processor multiplier is 8.5 (maybe it's my motherboard)

Pros: Runs cool with stock heat sink and fan, great speed, and it runs my applications on Windows Vista 64 bit amazingly! I have not had one problem with anything on my computer and that is a first for me! I have fallen in love with Intel processors and this is more bang for the buck!

Cons: None whatsoever.

Other Thoughts: I've had this for about 3 months now. I upgraded pretty much everything in my computer (pretty much built a new computer...) from a 3 year old single core AMD Athlon 64 to this baby. I didn't want to go quad core, as I can always upgrade later once the quad core is fully utilized. The only thing is, make sure your motherboard is not set to underclock the CPU. When I first started it up, it was clocked at 2.23 GHz if I remember correctly, and I had to change it to 2.93 in the BIOS settings. Other than that, easy to install!

Pros: The processor is responsive and stable! Installed it on an Intel S975XBX2 workstation mobo. Super "Bang for the Buck". Runs very smooth with 8 gigs of Kingston RAM and XP Pro x64 SP1. Air Cooling is easy on this 45nm CPU. I have a Xigmatek S1283 running at a quiet low rpm (about 1000rpm), and have never had to turn up the fan at full "folding stress".

Cons: No problems (100% satisfied!)

Other Thoughts: This CPU confirms that the "dual-core" processor can still perform well with most programs. I'm totally pleased with it's performance in multimedia, games and folding. It saved my budget, since I did not have to purchase the expensive Core-2-Extreme brand! It's a great value and plus to any arsenal.

Rating + 5 Works l,ike it should


Pros: Fired up immediately, recognized by my board with no issues.

Cons: No coms.

Other Thoughts: Make sure your motherboard can support these 45nm CPUs! Most will with a BIOS upgrade. Update your BIOS before you put in the new CPU.

Rating + 5 Great CPU. Easy O/C


Pros: Great CPU. O/C on stock voltage and cooling to 3.4 and runs cool at 41C.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: If using an older 775 board, make sure you get the latest BIOS update to run the new 45nm CPUs.

Rating + 5 Loving it


Pros: Very fast processor for the price. I would not hesitate to recommend CPU to anyone.

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: I had nothing but spinning fans when I first powered it up and that was it. It turns out that I had to flash my motherboard to the newest BIOS. It has been running perfectly since. I guess just make sure you have the newest BIOS before replacing your CPU with this one.

Rating + 1 DOA


Pros: I was very happy with the price if it had worked the power I'd have had I wouldn't need to upgrade again for at least another 2 years O-well.

Cons: I'm no Pro but I'd say I know enough about hardware that if I put a knew CPU in my computer and I get nothing only fans turning on and that's it then that's not good. I thought at first I'd ruined my Motherboard as well but I switched back to my original CPU and everything is fine. So I for see and RMA in my futore. I will not get another.

Other Thoughts: If you don't know a lot about Computers and you try to upgrade your Processor. Be ready to have to pay for someout side help. your Motherboard orother such might need some up grades as well for it to work.
