This low end CPU works great in my second built. coupled with the ASUS P5G41-M LEMotherboard. The performance Sub-Score is 5.9. When put it all together I loaded Windows 7 Professional 64 bit with 4Gig ram mem. Every thing was Plug and Play. Love the set up. Built this computer for under $280 bucks. So I am happy as a Lark!!

Bought this to replace a faulty processor. No problems with installation, except I needed extra time learning how to screw down the heatsink with the new type of screws. Overall, great product

upgrade from and old celeron. recieved next day. installed easily, the fan that was included used the plastic anchors,great big pain in the you know what. threw it back in the box and used the original that i took off. im not overclocking and this cpu works fantastic and cool. doubled my performance for 80 bucks

I like to Over clock. This little beauti will clock it's socks off and still stay fairly cool. but if you voer clock go water cooling. over clock, over clock, over clock.

Comment:
This processor blows my old one away and buying it in a mobo bundle makes it a fantastic value.

I got this and an inexpensive board for a 64 bit Linux system. so far so good, would recommend. Jim

Upgraded a Vista system from a Celeron processor to this Dual-core. Installed easily and booted no problem. Big improvement on performance. Rather pricey compared to comparable AMD processors.

Comment:
Very fast CPU. Overclocked it slightly and it's running great and reliable. I've been very pleased so far.

Comment:
Not the greatest but way better than what i had

Good One

Comment:
Fast (2.93GHz), runs cool (45nm die), cheapest CPU that reasonably runs Virtualization Technology and Windows-XP Mode in Win-7.

Comment:
I replaced a duel core 2ghz processor with this and there is a HUGE difference in game performance its simply awesome.

Comment:
- much cheaper than other high clock speed dual core computers.- identical architecture to the Core2Duo processors, with a little bit less cache (2MB vs 3MB or 6MB usually)- great upgrade for those people with crappy motherboards or Dell computers that only support a 1066MHz bus.- more than doubled my CPU scores on a various benchmarks including (PCMark, PassMark, SuperPI). My previous CPU was a dual core 1.8GHz cpu, the E2160 which was another Pentium branded CPU that is a slightly crippled Core2Duo from a while back.- brought my windows experience index for my CPU up from 4.8 to 6.7.

Has Virtualization technology. Runs Windows XP mode in Windows 7 Professional great. Runs Windows 7 just great too. With 2MB Cache and 1066MHz FSB it's hard to beat for an inexpensive processor.
