Rating + 5


Pros: This core is fast and it works in a Dell Dimension 4600. I was pleasantly surprise to see the Bios recognize the hyper threading. The original heat sink seems to be working fine for normal usage. I do not use this for gaming.

Cons: None so far.

Rating + 2 Poor packing


Pros: A decent upgrade for a client from a older Celeron processor

Cons: Poor packing even for a OEM, I opened the shipping box and found the empty plastic case and the processor roaming around in the shipping box free. By the time I got it the box several of the pins were bent.

Other Thoughts: After straightening the pins everything works fine, but all this could have been avoided if the plastic case for the processor was taped shut.

Rating + 5 WOW


Pros: FAST shipping, and better than fast, FREE shipping (free at the time i bought it that is) it's a cheap upgrade from my 2.0/512/400 Pentium 4 that i had in before i bought this chip. performance was a little sluggish at first untill the motherboard got use to the chip. now it FLIES. also while idling my chip is at 20-22 C. my 2.0 idled at 35-40 C

Cons: only con i can think of is it didnt come with any thermal paste.

Other Thoughts: why on earth would they use a 8x8x6 box to ship i tiny 1x1 inch chip?

Rating + 5 Rock Solid Performer


Pros: Built system almost 4 years ago using this chip and it was the best decision I ever made. Have no idea why some reviewers say it runs hot. Room temp is 76 deg-F and chip temp is 80 deg-F. Used stock fan for build and never o'clocked, no need to-no problems.

Cons: Too pricey for technology this dated. But still worth every penney.

Other Thoughts: Processor lived through an Asus mobo meltdown and kept on keepin on. Running a Biostar P4M80-M4 mobo now and my next build will be another Biostar. Replaced fried Asus mobo and Biostar fired right up and has been running steady and solid ever since.

Rating + 5 my apologies to newegg and reviewers


Pros: -

Cons: -

Other Thoughts: It seems that perhaps the first CPU they sent to me was working but I wouldn't know. After talking with tech support from Dell my motherboard only supports up to 533mhz FSB and this chip requires 800. If any one purchases a CPU make sure your motherboard supports the FSB and voltage (if applicable). My apologies to Newegg for the trouble.

Rating + 1 doa 2x


Pros: Easy to install.

Cons: Doa on first shipment, and after RMA. No refund (so I may have to eat this). I wish Newegg would offer a return on this because I feel ripped off on buying an old and expensive CPU that is dead on receipt.

Other Thoughts: Shipping and RMA are easy and fast.
