One of the best around. So cool cause the processor supports the new 64 bit tech.
Not so great to modify.

Was purchased primarily for gaming, straight away I noticed the improved shades of colour, especially on the latest games like oblivion - runs super smooth now I've reloaded windows.

Upgraded from a sluggish 2Ghz P4, power nearly doubled - very impressed.

For the past year Intel has been packaging their cpu's with hyper threading, this enables you to fully multitask with Windows - loadup all your power hugging apps without a noticeable slowdown. To begin with I was somewhat dubious of this claim, I'd read it with every press release from Intel for their latest processor. After running some bench tests their claim seems to come upto muster, their core2 duo truly can handle multiple apps loaded simultaneously. For what it costs, it's the best processor available at the moment.

Technicality superior to AMD's X2's range of dual-core CPU's.
Motherboard compatibility issues, those with a slower speed are largely redundant.

Cost effective CPU - just built a new PC with it - I would it recommend it to everyone starting out on the road to building a new home computer.
