  Duration of ownership: 4 Months

  Strengths: Very well made processor! Fast, reliable, is a workhorse.

  Weaknesses:The CPU cooler attaches to the motherboard with plastic pins that snap onto board. These can break off if you remove it.

  Overall Evaluation: I have been building computers for years and have used both Intel and AMD processors. Until now I preferred AMD for their reliability and stable speed. Now that I have tried the Pentium Extreme EE SL8FK processor I will be using them in the majority of all my builds. I love this CPU. It runs multiple applications without a hitch. Temp. stays about 38 Celsius at idle and gets up to about 59 Celsius with a good load. I can play Laura Croft Tomb Raider without any hesitation. I have this processor in an ASUS MB with NVidia NForce 4 chipset using 2 Gig. Of Ballistix ram with a Western Digital 250 Gig. HD, Ultra 600W power supply and EVGA 8600 GT graphics card. It is one of the best processors I have ever used. When running multiple applications the processor monitor indicates that the cpu is only at about 60% of its capacity. It is stable all the time.

  Strengths: very stable, competitive performance, but...AMD64 X2

  Weaknesses:HIGH PRICE- HIGH TEMPERATURe, 75C-80C FULL LOADED, AMD64 X2 HAS BETTER PERFORMANCE RATIO/ AND WATTS COMSUPTION (POWER), I PERSONAL DECIDED TO SELL IT AND BUY AMD 64 X2 PLATFORM.

  Overall Evaluation: i was a intel user until i test the amd 64 system, definetly intel must redesing he's architecture and system, to be more competitive with the cpu battle. if you really looking a processor for extreme aplication performance and extreme gamers capabilities. AMD 64 X2 is better choice.
