Top class processor

Strengths: Fastest dual core processor without spending a fortune. Runs cool and very overclockable.

Weakness: Somewhat of a lower value than the e6600 and e6400. Included heatsink isn't all that great.

This runs everything without a hitch. I used a thermalright ultra 120 extreme heatsink on this processor and it idles at 27C and runs at 47C at 100% under TAT (a tool to test the maximum performance and stability of your CPU). With games, I never see the temperature rise above 35C. Impressive. And with intel's price cuts, this processor is now actually affordable! Get it!

CPU for when the 10x multiplier is worth that extra...

Strengths: 10x FSB Multiplier, 4MB on-die cache, lots of overhead for overclocking and reasonable temps at stable and high speeds.

Weakness: Unless you're overclocking substantially and have a motherboard that has some FSB limitations, the price over an E6600 (or possible and AMD X2 6000+) may not be worth the cost.

I purchased this processor after Intel's April 22nd price cut, with the new price at roughly $330. It has found a home on my DFI Infinity 975X/G motherboard (which I has previously had an E6600 on). This particular motherboard hits an FSB wall at 372 MHz -- I can be stable for 100+ of heavy computing (using the BOINC distributed computing project when otherwise not in use) at 372, but at 373 and...

Fast Processor

Strengths: Blistering performance in games, multimedia, development, music recording and mixing. Low poer draw. Works great with MSI P6N sli Platinum mobo with Mushkin DDR2-800 memory.

Weakness: Still a little expensive but nothing other than that.

A worthwhile processor when compared to the competition - especially now that prices have come down. Great for overclocking. I overclocked it to 3.2ghz using Intel's stock heatsink and thermal material. After cleaning it off, and using an aftermarket HSF combo I hit 3.5 easy. At that speed it decimates EVERYTHING that tries to compare to it's performance I also got a good deal by checking out...

Core 2 Duo E6700 Dual Core Processor (2.66GHz, 4MB,...

Strengths: The best processor I've ever had

Weakness: Still expensive

This processor is the fastest processor I've ever had. I work a lot with video files and now my computer does the best job with processing mpeg and divx files. Sometimes I play games and my pc never gets frozen as used to be before. I believe it's the best processor for Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

Core 2 Duo E6700 Dual Core Processor (2.66GHz, 4MB,...

Strengths: Fast relyable processor not requiring a powerfull cooler

Weakness: n/a

This processor is very fast and I fit my old CPU cooler from Pentium D easily over it. So far I have not seen any cons with using it. I'm very glad with all new Intel products.

Very, Very Fast

Strengths: fast, cool, low power consumption

Weakness: a little pricey

I currently have one of these processors, and I have used them several times in builds for customers, and I must say they are Fast Fast Fast! I have never had any problems with this cpu, it doesn't get too hot, and it doesn't take a lot of power to run.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66GHz Processor

Strengths: Runs a lot cooler thyan P-4s

Weakness: A little slower than the P-4 3.6 661 processor that it replaced.

Iwas looking for a faster processor that runs cooler without spending a fortune...... "Two out of three aint bad". I would recommend this processor for a new build and for a P-4 replacement if you're worried about high temps.

E6600

Strengths: Fast fast fast, price

Weakness: heat sink is suboptimal

I received this CPU and since have installed it into my completely new system: ASUS P5K Deluxe, Crucial 1066 2Gb, 7900GSOC BFG. Running fine, willing be checking OC parameters soon.

Great CPU

Strengths: Fast, stable, very overclockable

Weakness: none, unless you count not being a quad-core ;)

I bought one for my wife's PC a few weeks back. It was such a deal for the performance I just bought another for my own system. This is definitely the value sweet spot for power. Fast, stable, easily overclockable (watch your heat control) and the price is sure right. Blows away AMD's comp-priced CPUs (and I lean AMD in general). $316 - delivered...sweet.

fast & cool

Strengths: Handles multitasking easily and runs very cool

Weakness: none that I have been able to find so far

A huge improvement over the p4 2.8 I was using. Loads Games and Apps very quickly and that's using a low end motherboard with 512mb ddr3200 memory once I upgrade to better memory & motherboard it should be much faster.

Intel Core 2 Duo E7600

The Intel Core 2 Duo E7600 is a 3.06 GHz, 1066MHz FSB processor with 3MB Cache and falls in the middle of Intels line of Core 2 Duo Processors. All processors in this line have 2 cores (hence the name) meaning they have two distinct processors on one chip allowing them to work seperately or together on a single large task. These processors also feature next generation Intel Core microarchitecture...
