This cpu is in good working condition. Core duo, 2 core processor. Included are L1 L2 L3 cache. L3 cache is about 6mb which is very good. CPU speed is good, not slow, not fast, about 3ghz. EZ install, so far so good. Get a mobo that can take up to 8gb, ur set to go. Socket 775 mobo only for this processor. bus speed 1333mhz The description above is exact. Core 2 Duo E8500 Socket 775 CPU Processor 3.16GHz/6M/1333 Try it out, it's worth the chnage from a solo core to a duo. You will see the difference. Its an old cpu, but it can compete with the new ones. Of course the higher the core the better overall performance.

This is a five-star component *only in context*, of course. The Asus P5GC-MX host mainboard had an old P4 520 CPU installed, with its x86 architecture capable of only 32-bit OS support. Exchanging that CPU with the E8500 enabled 64-bit OS installs, while as a bonus adding an *enormous* performance upgrade. The host system is only used as a gateway/router/firewall with a few other functions (IRC server, very-low-use webserver, internal-LAN-only NAS) and is perfect for the demand. It still beats the crap out of any end-user-grade 'router' such as those provided by ISPs. The E8500 CPU upgrade made the difference between extended useful life for an older system, and landfill for same.
