Dual-Core Processing with 4MB L2 CacheThe Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 processor features two independent processor cores in one physical package running at 2.4GHz with a full 4MB 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: Wow. I cannot even begin to emphasize how fast these things are. Even when using programs that don't take advantage of multi-threading, these chips seem to somehow find a workaround and blow me away in terms of performance.
Cons: Price, but it was well worth the money. Overclockers will want an aftermarket heatsink, but even so the stock heatsink works fine. Mine runs at about 45ºC with the stock cooler at stock speeds.
Overall Review: Upgrading to the Core 2 Exterme X6800 is completely unnecessary and a waste of money. This will do everything you need for xxx$ less. And if you really feel your need the performance of the X6800, overclock this baby. With 4MB L2 cache, the sky is the limit.
