I have been trying to improve the performance of my Dell Optiplex computer and decided that a more powerful quad core cpu was going to serve me a lot better compared to the Athlon dual core that was previously on the system. Really well packaged and everything came as expected. Pins were slight bent (as expected) but with some time and caution, I was able to finally replace my first cpu and how glad I was to be a step closer to maximizing my pc's perfomance. :)
