Pros: picked this up to upgrade a asus p4p800 e-deluxe mb with 2 gigs of dual channel 4003200. replaced a 2.53 running at2.8, only letting the memory run at 533 max. from day one it has been at 3300 mgrtz with hyperthread running. running a modded aircooled case, idles at 35c and full load 46c. came wrapped in bubble wrap within a cpu case, i purchased the extended warranty, so i wouldn't have to deal with intell if there were issues. runs fear, prey, farcry, flatout 1&2, gtr2 without a hitch. JUST GET IT, make sure you're board will run it.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Bought this to upgrade my aging 478 system. I didnt really want to buy all new hardware till the next gen (quad core) CPUs are out. I went from a P4 2.4 to this 3.0 HT CPU and it sure made a big difference in my games. Battlefield 2142 got a much needed performance boost!
Cons: Runs a bit hot! This is not really a con tho if you just get a good aftermarket cooler. I am currently using an intel stock cooler and when gaming it gets very close to the CPU shutdown temp.
Other Thoughts: Highly recommended for anyone looking to cheaply incrrease the speed of a compatable 478 system, without replacing everything!

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Stability, speed, and price. If you're still stuck with a socket 478 this is a great upgrade. I can get this to a 3.6 running cool and rock steady with a good cooler and some good ram (I recommend corsair xms). You won't be disappointed.
Cons: Even seems a little hot when running at stock speeds. Not a problem though, runs perfectly stable.
Other Thoughts: If you are planning on overclocking, get something besides the stock cooler. A Zalman CNPS9500 and some artic silver 5 will keep this baby way cool.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It can processes the absence or presence of a current at high speeds. Also, it was cheap.
Cons: Obsolete.
Other Thoughts: Had it for about 5 months. I got exactly what I expected, which is always nice. Would I buy Intel again? Yeah, sure. I'm not really into AMD or IBM.

I really wish I didn't have to pay shipping. I can see the NJ warehouse out my window. Compared to other online stores, it's still faster, and compared to retail, it's still cheaper, so I don't mind so much.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Just appending to my previous post on this CPU. I use an AeroCool X-Raider heatsink/fan. Simple aluminum fins. $xx. I have had no heat issues whatsoever. CPU never goes above 110F under full load. Would probably cool even better with a copper setup, but 110 is well below the threshold so the CPU never throttles.
Cons: none
