  Weaknesses: EasyTune Pro 5 can be a little buggy. Depending on what other programs you have running (in startup) it may fault on startup and it will either no load when you try to start it again or it will.

  Strengths: Powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

  Weaknesses: None

  Overall Evaluation: If you are tired of waiting for your programs to load and you are drumming your fingers waiting for things to process you may want to consider this processor. Everything I use is running many times faster than before with my ancient Athlon XP2400. The dual processor allows things like a virus scan to run unnoticed in the background.

  Duration of ownership:1

  Strengths: Small and fast

  Weaknesses: none

  Overall Evaluation: Great chip, well documented and awesome websit support. This chip is fast, cool, and fits nicely with the Intel D975BX2 motherboard. The chip and motherboard could have been purchase as OEM products since the Intel website clearly provides all the information you could possibly need. Intel products rule!

  Duration of ownership:1 Months

  Strengths: Fast, stable, Intel brand reliability

  Weaknesses: None

  Overall Evaluation: I paired this with an Intel DQ35 motherboard and have had no problems with Vista 64. This is much faster then the 2.8ghz P4 it replaced. I have a Antec Nine Hundred case and have no heat issues whatsoever. It was a little expensive, but I'm glad I bought it.

  Strengths: Fast, low temperature. Not too expensive.

  Weaknesses: None so far.

  Overall Evaluation: I had just upgraded my desktop with the following components: - Intel Core 2 Due E6850 - Asus P5K Deluxe/WiFi-AP - CoolerMaster Real Power Pro 650W - 2 x Crucial 2GB DDR2 804 Ballistix Kit - PNY Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT 256 MB The first problem I ran into was the system not booting from my HD (Maxtor DIAMONDMAX10 300GB 7200RPM 16MB3GB SATA). It turned out that I had to remove the jumper that forced the drive to SATA 1 speed (150 MB/sec). Once that jumper was removed, the installation of Windows XP completed successfully. The next problem I had was that Windows XP did not recognize my Maxtor OneTouch III external drive when a FireWire cable was used. The drive was only seen when a USB cable was used. Not sure if this is a problem with XP or with the motherboard. Anyways, the two problems above are not directly related to the CPU. Going back to the CPU, I was impressed with its speed and operating temperature. I'm using Intel's stock CPU fan and the CPU temperature is at 26C while fan is running at 2960 RPM. The motherboard was running at little hot (55C) before I installed two 120mm chassis fan (1500 RPM). It's now at 40C. Overall, I'm quite happy with this setup. Not too expensive. No major problems so far.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Speed, stability, ease of installation

  Weaknesses: None thus far

  Overall Evaluation: With this processor and an ABIT IP35 Pro mobo, and a mere 2GB of DDR2-800 RAM installed, I obtained the highest Passmark performance rating (900) of any system I ever put together. I chose the Intel Core 2 Duo, rather than the Quad, because I wasn't certain whether the Quad had been on the market long enough to prove its potential superiority. I'm very happy with this CPU and the overall performance and stability of the system I built around it.

  Strengths: Nice and fast, runs cool even when overclocked, great price, and 1333 FSB. Crunches video and games super fast compared to my P4 HT 3.6GHz

  Weaknesses: none. In order to take full advantage of this CPU, I need a better video card and faster DDR2 RAM next.

  Overall Evaluation: Shipping from this site was very fast. Great price here too. No complaints from me for a great upgrade for my msi p6n diamond mainboard.
