Reviews
Built on the innovative Intel Core microarchitecture, the Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor features two independent processor cores in one physical package running at 2.13GHz with 2MB L2 cache with a 1066MHz FSB to provide truly parallel computing for enhanced multi-application performance. Other features including Intel Wide Dynamic Execution, Intel Smart Memory Access, Intel Advanced Smart Cache and Intel Digital Media Boost, all help the processor and you do more in less time.
In office, PC usage has changed from data entry and word processing to e-Commerce, online collaboration and an ever-increasing need for continual security and virus protection. PC users are running multiple, intense software applications simultaneously and demanding more on hardware resources. In the home, interests have shifted from low-bandwidth photos and Internet surfing to downloading and viewing high definition videos as well as advanced photo and video editing. The all-new Intel Core 2 Duo processor was developed to meet all these demands.
Dual-Core Processing with 2MB L2 CacheThe Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 processor features two independent processor cores in one physical package running at 2.13GHz with 2MB L2 cache and a 1066MHz FSB to provide truly parallel computing for enhanced multi-application performance.
Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT)With Intel VT, one hardware platform functions as multiple "virtual" platforms. For business, Intel VT offers improved manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions. In the home, Intel VT allows creating unique user environments for multiple family members using the same platform simultaneously.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology SupportMultiple performance modes enable optimum performance at the lowest power, using real-time dynamic switching of the voltage and frequency between multiple performance modes based on CPU demands.
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.

Pros: At stock speeds, blows away AMD's FX-62. The Core 2 Duo processors are actually (proven) to be more overclockable than the Netburst CPU's. Paired up with a P5W DH Deluxe, I have my E6400 running stable at 3.68ghz (460x8) with the pencil vmch mod done to the motherboard. Without the mod you shouldn't run into trouble until around the 400mhz fsb mark (giving you 3.2ghz.) I suggest you atleast get a good air cooling solution if you are going to be overclocking. Currently, with such a high overclock, my cpu runs (on the nautilus 500 WC kit) 31*c idle and 35*c under full load. If anyone is wondering, newegg is shipping the E6400 B2's which are more overclockable than the B1's that most etailers are selling.
Cons: NONE! DON'T BE FOOLED ABOUT THE 2M L2 CACHE! THERE IS ONLY BETWEEN .03-3% IN PERFORMANCE VS. 4M L2 CACHE!
Overall Review: Save the money and get a good value ram 2GB kit unless you are going for world records. The increase in FSB has more impact on your memory performance than the speed of your ram itself. Check out anandtech's conroe review for suggested value ram kits. Make sure you get one of the best motherboards, currently the most overclockable boards are: 975X: Asus P5W DH Deluxe, Intel Bad Axe 965: Asus P5B Deluxe You'll get better results with one of these motherboards paired up with this cpu vs. E6600 with a mediocre board. Hope this helps!
