Fast LGA-775 CPU
One of the fastest CPUs for older 2004-2008 era LGA-775 motherboards.
Easy drop-in replacement for Core 2 Duo (upgrades to Quad core at 3.0 GHz).
Passmark Multi-Thread score: 4272
Passmark Single-Thread score: 1272
In other words, this processor is still very good for computing today.
It can also be overclocked well depending on your motherboard and bios version. Be sure to use a 3rd party CPU cooler since the stock intel ones are not as great.
[Note: Passmark scores for comparison available on another website, ie. the 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Q6600 only gets 2988 Multi-Threaded score, and 923 Single-Threaded]
