Purchased an HP Slim Desktop 290-0043w with a Intel Celeron CPU and 4 GB RAM, Windows 10 Home. Computer would screen freeze and slow until I upgraded eo an Intel i3 8100 Core 8th Gen and 12GB of Ram. HP should of never so;d it with a dog of a CPU and only 4 GB ram. The i3 comes ready to install with a heat sink / fan and thermal pate inclued. The CPU has 4 threads/ path for information to flow making it extremely fast, good enough for gaming some. The CPU uses 65 watts so it runs cool and good on energy usage. This is my 1st new computer since the Intel Pentium days and the speed of the i3 is a step up from them in speed and performance. The pricing is about right and you can also get an i5 0r i7 for added benefits for demanding software.

Easy to install like all other Intel processor I've used in the past. I bought this for a NAS system and wanted to have ECC memory capability. Performance should be more than sufficient.
