Awesome
- Pros: Outstanding performance for the price. Multi-tasking is no problem for this processor.
- Cons: Stock heatsink and fan are barely adequate.
- Other Thoughts: I am not familiar with AMD processors but compared to a single core 2.8 Ghz P4 and and single core 2.8 Ghz P4 w/ HT, this one blows them both away. I strongly suggest upgrading to an aftermarket cooling device as the stocker lets this CPU operate at just above 60 deg C (120 deg F) at full load. I bought an aftermarket cooler for $40 and some Arctic Silver 5 and now my CPU never gets hotter than the mid 40's (deg C). I do both gaming and run several apps at once including DVD re-coding and this processor is extremely well rounded; especially considering the price.
Cooler then most say. Cheap overclockers dream
- Pros: The dual core is way faster then the P4 HT line hands down. With the right board(P5WD2 Premium 955x or the E premium 975X) and ram this CPU is capable of 4.0ghzs with water cooling, and is very capable of 3.73ghz with good air(Big Typhoon) Stock this CPU is a great bargin, but overclocked this sucker simply hauls tail.
- Cons: It does run a little warm, but nothing like these other (kids) are saying.
- Other Thoughts: For the guys having heat issues, maybe you need to put less then a gallon of paste on this CPU, just a BB sized amount right in the center of the CPU is more then enough, anymore then this and you begin to blanket the CPU which makes it run hotter not cooler.
My specs are:
PD 820 @ 4.35ghz
ASUS 975x E Premium
Mushkin EM 4300 @ 308mhz
Custom water with DD TDX CPU block. Temps are 25 idle and 34 load @ 4.35ghz with 1.675vcore(do not try this with air)

Really good Processor for Price
- Pros: I got this processor because I was on a tight budget and wanted the most bang for the buck. Processor has not disappointed me. Some users state about the heat issue. I bought a Coolmaster Centurion 5 case and with the stock heatsink and fan I idle at 40C and max at 52C.
- Cons: The problem with heat is not a issue for mine but I have notice that you cannot make the stock fan run at full speed. Tried to set my bios up so it would just run the fan at 100% speed like I've had it setup on my other computer but no matter what you do it controls itself. The problem with this is that the processor could easily run in the high 30C idle and max in the 40's if I could just have the fan run at full speed all the time. It seems even when on heavy applications running I can get The fan speed to get up into 3200 rpms but I've seen it go as high as 3600 rpm. It idles normally at 2000 rpms so missing out on 1600 rpms of speed which is my only problem. Pent D may run hotter but they are designed for that. The heat threshold seems a bit higher then on other processors. When I first installed processor I didn't put enough thermal compound on so my processor was idling at 80C and was still stable.
- Other Thoughts: Pocessors have far past the need for so much power for the normal gamer or computer user. With this processor I ran C&C tiberium wars and it only uses 30% of the processor. If you looking for a cheap strong processor Pent D do the trick.
Pent. D 820
- Pros: Bought this along wit a new board to bring my recordin studio computer back to life...all i have to say is...WOW.
- Cons: None.
- Other Thoughts: NEWEGG RAWKS!
Faster and cooler than its 805 brother.
- Pros: This is a very nice cpu, it's faster than the 805 and runs cooler. The 800mhz front bus is very nice over the 533mhz on the 805. I've used five of theese in builds for friends and a machine for my mom. They take on all the games without a hitch and run quiet under stock settings.
- Cons: Use good paste on the heatsink, the stuff that comes on the stock intel is a little square of stuff thats not better than playdough.
- Other Thoughts: Even though its not as fancy as the Core 2 Duo chipset, it's still a great dual core for gaming, multi tasking and general use.

Highlights

The Power of Dual-Core Delivers Exceptional Benefits to Your Platform.
Intel dual-core processors have two complete but distinct execution cores in one processor package running at the same frequency. Both cores share the same packaging and the same interface with the chipset memory, but they operate as distinct execution cores. Dual-core processing is one way of delivering a higher level of performance while balancing power requirements.

Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T)
Intel EM64T provides an enhancement to Intel 32-bit architecture by enabling the desktop processor platform to access larger amounts of memory. With appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware and software, platforms based on an Intel processor supporting Intel EM64T can enable use of extended virtual and physical memory.
|
 |
Execute Disable Bit (EDB)
Intel's Execute Disable Bit function can prevent certain classes of malicious "buffer overflow" attacks when combined with a supporting operating system. Execute Disable Bit allows the processor to classify areas in memory where application code can execute and where it cannot. When a malicious worm attempts to insert code in the buffer, the processor disables code execution, preventing damage or worm propagation.
