    Duration of ownership:1 Days

    Strengths: Extremely quickExcellent for multi tasks as advertised.Cheap price now as I posted.

    Weaknesses: Can't find anything, yet.

    Overall Evaluation: All I can say is WOW!This is the first multiple cores system I build after a long time. I have had only single core from both AMD and INTEL. My AMD is 2500XP and INTEL is 2.4GHZ. I just got this combo when Fry's just opened this morning and just finished WinXP Pro installation. It's amazing fast, even with installation is so quick. Just tried 2 aps Photoshop and Corel working at the same time and can't feel any slow down on performance. That's all I can said for now, will try to upgrade to 4G ram later, find a decent PCI Express video card and will put Vista Ultimate to unleash this bad boy.

    Strengths: speed

    Weaknesses: none

    Overall Evaluation: Recently built a system for a customer using this CPU. Great, great CPU for the price. I was hoping the HSF would be prettier (maybe with copper tubing like AMD does on their higher end X2s), but the fan is more than sufficient as the processor does not get excessively hot.

    Strengths: 4 cores of powerful computing power for your MS Vista operating System....and for the price, it's only a little more than the price of two chips of the dual cores!

    Weaknesses: Not an octal-core! ;-)

    Overall Evaluation: If I had to choose between my Core2Duo system, and this one now built with a quad chip, I would hands down want to use the quad-core computer. it does my video-editing so fast you would think my old p4 cpu was ten years old-or just really darned tired!anyway-I am tired of my dual-P4 system, this new quad-core chip rocks!

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Unbelievably fast, and sooooo overclockable! I have it going at over 3 Ghz with no sweat on a Gigabyte P965-Dq6!

    Weaknesses: NONE whatsoever!

    Overall Evaluation: If you really want to see your machine sing, but do not want to spend the money on the top of the line Quad Core 2 Duo, buy this one, and just overclock it! you will be just as happy-with money to spare!
