  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Runs very smooth, no matter what program(s) you are hitting it with, and does not seem to heat up on my motherboard even during heavy multi-tasking. Those four cores never max out.

  Weaknesses:None that I have found

  Overall Evaluation: I'm not sure why the Duo Core has made such a come-back. Maybe I need to read up on it more These days quad core seems to be going out of style, but I think it still kicks. It can take anything I throw at it, from a program with very heavy graphics, to several programs at once. It is the best I have had so far.

  Strengths: Very Very Fast.

  Weaknesses:None that I have found.

  Overall Evaluation: I put the core 2 quad on a gigabyte Motherboard and man is this thing fast. I'm running Vista X64 version of windows. I did put a different cooling fan on it and it runs at 25c at idle.8 gigs of ram also helps. Best CPU for the price. Can't beat it!!!!

  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

  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.
