If you purchased a cheap used motherboard, paired with anything less than 3GHZ, this will be a significant upgrade. I bought a dual socket motherboard with dual Xeon E5530's on it, clocked at 2.4ghz, and my server is a home media server, providing currently for Plex, VPN, and a Minecraft server. After awhile playing the Minecraft server, the map became so complex and large, that it began to run sluggishly. I researched, that Minecraft servers rely on faster single core performance, rather than multiple cores. So I checked here for upgrades and found these little CPUs for less than $30 for 2. Now my map runs smooth and without any delay, with very little expense to me. Without going to the 4.4ghz dual core that goes for like $1,100 each, this is the fastest you'll see for the socket 1366.

Purchased this product for a budget gaming PC build, and it exceeded my expectations. In my particular build, I was able to achieve a stable 4.5 GHz (4.7 with TurboBoost) overclock. Combined with the popular Hyper 212 Evo, it has no cooling issues. All around, it is one of the best bang-for-buck CPUs for gaming (mine was $45).

This CPU provides better performance than most budget builds. It hands down beats most pentiums and i3s and even some i5s.

It may be old but it's still relevant for computing and gaming. It's one of the lowest cost 4 core/8 thread CPUs you can find. It may even be unlocked for even better performance. Note: the Six Core version is better but this works just fine. You need a good heatpipe CPU coller or liquid cooling for this. A standard aluminum "chunk" heatsink will NOT work. You will run over 85C, which is NOT good.
