FAST FAST FAST! Overclockable and stable........2007-06-03

Wow! This chip completely obliterates my Dual Core Intel D930. I have the E6600 in an MSI P6N SLI Platinum Motherboard, powered by a 500 watt Antec power supply, and cooled by a Cooler Master RR-LCH-P9E1 92mm UFO CPU Cooler. At factory settings it runs VERY cool (between 25-32C). This chip could be an excellent choice for underclocking in a fanless HTPC.

I am deeply impressed with how fast this chip is at its factory settings. With the right mobo and cooling, you can overclock this thing up to 3.5 - 4GHz!

This is my second Intel build, and i have to say that it is impressively easy, stable and customizable.

Some say you should move directly to QX6700 or X6800 if you are a game lover. I strongly disagree.
They cost around US$1,000 and are just not worth: QX6700 is just two Core 2 Duo put side by side; X6800 does not pay as well.

The trick for having a great performance in games is spending money on a great GPU and making sure your system is cool and has the power it needs to run.
Processor and memory do not help much, provided they reach minimum standards.
If you're a gamer, my advice is: buy this one, 2Gb or 4Gb of a good and fast memory (Corsair or Kingston 800Mhz would do fine), and spend the rest of your money in:
- great GPU (Geforce 8800 series).
- great cooler (consider liquid cooling, if you can, or take the Zalman 9500).
- DON'T forget to get yourself a good PSU (Thermaltake or Corsair, with at least 500W).

Low heat, very easy install, good to go out of the box.

I changed a few settings and overclocked to 3.2Ghz with minimal effort. I left it running Prime 95 on both cores overnight and it didn't even break sweat.

Intel really pulled out all the stops on this one.

Great OC potential, if you have the right motherboard and revision of the CPU.......2007-05-16

The CPU comes in different revisions and depending on the revision and with which motherboard it is paired with, you can get a very nice Overclocking platform. However, you really need to do your homework before going with a OC platform. I personally like Thermaltake PSU, OCZ memory with Micron chips, and eVGA motherboards, though some (NOT Asus Striker Extreme) ASUS boards are good at OC too.

this thing is being made in jupiter or something like this... it REALLY puts the WOW in vista... it runs like hell.. believe me.. for it price.. is THE DEAL.. i've seen the 6400 and below, and they're made in earth... not like this one... :)
