Served me flawlessly for over 2 years of gaming, specifically Battlefield 2 coupled with 2 GB of memory and a 7800 GT graphics card. Never clocked it as I am not that technically minded and not rich enough to replace a blown CPU every month if I screw it up. I bought it on the basis it included Intel's new hyper threading technology which reviews in PC Gamer suggested way a smart way for Intel to increase the system performance from their basic Pentium 4 series of processors. Not only gaming but the technology allowed speeding up of my work in other system hogging applications like CAD and photo workshop 10. Recently I purchased Oblivion for my PC and noticed the pentium was having a job running it at max res, so after 2 years I felt it was about time to trade up. Read up on reports about cpu's always before making a decision. If your bargain basement gamer then for £100 I'd still recommend this processor, add a good video unit and it will still handle all the latest games at a reasonable frame rate.
