    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!!!!

    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.

    Duration of ownership: 1 Weeks

    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.
