Works Well
Pros: Upgraded from a p4 3.0 GHz single core. I primarily run World of Warcraft, STO, and some standalone games on this computer and the Celeron CPU helped increase my framerates, which is what I bought it to do.
Cons: none
Overall Review: I did read the reviews some of which stated this CPU is not for gaming, others that complained that a core i3 or higher would push the framerates to 90+ where this CPU hovers around 70. I personally don't have a problem with this and think that this is a good CPU for a budget computer build if you can't afford the i3 right now (which I can't).
Works Well
Pros: I upgraded from an asus p4m890 circa 2007 to this. It was easy to install, clearly labled good manual. The bios were easy to configure. I plan to keep it for some time as it will allow me to upgrade my processor and memory at least one more time unlike my old board. I like that it has the legacy IDE connector for my old HDD/CDRW.
Cons: I have been having some issues with the usb connectors on the back. My keyboard and Mouse work when plugged in but nothing else seems to. This may be an issue with Windows rather than the board though. Could do with a couple more stand offs or to have their pattern rearranged for additional support under the power connector.
