    Duration of ownership: 1 Days

    Strengths: Low cost. Fast (relatively speaking).

    Weaknesses:Early version of XP Home Edition will not install.

    Overall Evaluation: Only difficulty was installing early version of Windows XP home. You need at least SP1 included with your initial installation.So far the CPU has not even broken a sweat. My son was playing Quake 4 while downloading Crysis and running Photoshop CS (screen captures). Haven't OC'd yet but considering it because my Chilltec cooler has maintained CPU temp lower than 87 f (30 celsius).Great purchase and looking forward to programs that take advantage of multiple cores.nVidia 8800 512 RAM2 GHZ 1066 RAM2 SATA 160 GB Drives Raid 1Intel 975 Extreme MB

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Very fast

    Weaknesses:gets hot

    Overall Evaluation: Runs very fast, but I've been some issues with the pc I've built. I put it on a GA-n650sli-ds4l motherboard and it's been crashing since then. I think that's a problem with either the cpu or the mobo because I've replaced all the other parts.

    Strengths: Very fast (2.4ghz) with 4 cores

    Weaknesses:Builds up quite a bit of heat

    Overall Evaluation: I am running this with 2GB of ram and on a gigabyte p35-ds4 mobo. Running very fast and I can see a huge improvement when comparing this to my pentium 4.

    Strengths: Fast

    Weaknesses:Yorkfield

    Overall Evaluation: As you probably already know, this processor overclocks very well, especially the G0 stepping (aka SLACR). I overclocked mine to 3.55 Ghz with air cooling. It's awesome! Well, maybe not as awesome as Yorkfield, but for well under $300, I can't really complain.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Months

    Strengths: Quad-core power!!! G0 stepping runs very cool. Cores remain stable even under load. Good performance for the price.

    Weaknesses:G0 stepping not guaranteed from some retailers. Penryn CPUs may offer better value when released next month.

    Overall Evaluation: There's not too much left to say about this processor. It's fast, stable, and a great value for the price. The only real caveat is that the new G0 stepping cannot be guaranteed from some online resellers.
