Bought this Processor as an upgrade to my current 1.86Ghz 1066Fsb 2M L2 Core2Duo This Processor is Easily overclocked to 2.85 Ghz, 1250Fsb, on the stock Intel heat-sink, It runs at about 30-35*c idle at this speed. However. My computer's memory will not enter dual-channel mode, I don't know why, but after install, It just will not. Compared to the 1.86 2mb L2, this 2.4 with 4mb L2, has a definite advantage. My system boots faster, and I can run Auto-CAD 3D with no lag at all. Video rendering time was also improved, as well as general computering. I would recommend this processor highly, as it was an easy upgrade to my system.

I just recently upgraded from a Pentium D 945 @3.4Ghz to the Core 2 Duo E6600. The performance difference is outstanding! First off, using Speedfan to monitor temperatures, the Pentium D idled at around 55C and at full power shot up to 72C, which is really hot! The E6600 currently idles at around 38C and at full power only manages to reach a maximum of 50C. Next, the additional bus speed increase from 800Mhz to 1066Mhz and more efficient pipeline of Core 2 Duo architecture really shows a great difference in computing speed. Rendering on CPU benchmark programs have seen a major increase in speed. Lastly, I would definitely recommend this processor to anyone who has an older 945 based motherboard and can support upgrading from Pentium 4/D to Core 2 Duo!
-Well worth the upgrade from a Pentium D on a DC7700 Factory Small, Please make sure your motherboard is compatible with the CPU as I bought the same socket only to find it did not work. There are noticeable differences in the performance overall as some apps load more smoothly, and the other change is that my computer is running a lot less hotter, which is great for heat exchange for my graphic card (mid range). I use to think the GHz determined the performance of the cpu but after experience it first hand and learning it from various forums, I will always do a benchmark to not be mistaken again. If your not looking for a gaming PC, and just using it for school/college and work this CPU will do you wonders. More over if you buy a PC with a similar CPU, you can buy a decent computer for less than 100$, no need to go overboard, considering if you have a mid. range graphic card lying around. Bought a Used CPU for under $10, and worked fine.Read full review
Installed the core 2 e6600 to improve performance on the HP Ex495 Mediasmart server. So far very pleased with the increased performance. All operations are fast and precise, Well worth the time and effort + plus these processors used are very low cost.

My computer would reboot at random and seemed to be getting more frequent. After replacing the old processor with this one it hasn't rebooted once. I did improve the odds by using good heatsink compound and getting it spread into a very thin layer with full coverage.
