Cons Low clock speed affects peak performance
Recommended it? No

Several years ago, I purchased two of these Pentium 4 2400 Mhz processors and some Intel D865GLC motherboards to completed a POV Ray animation.  At the time, these processors were the fastest hyperthreading capable products on the market and were a big boost to the performance of my animation...

Pros Fast, reliable, and easy to install.
Cons No thermal cement!
Recommended it? Yes

A mighty processor for a fair price, I bought this processor shortly after it was released. I was building a new computer for myself. This cpu has exceeded all of my expectations. Even after 6 months of use and abuse it still runs like a beast. The only surprise I got was that it's set up to make... Read full review »

My Over-Clocking King.

Pros Easy to overclock, runs cool, doesn't use much energy.
Cons May require a large hsf replacement, as the stock HSF is not very good.
Recommended it? Yes

This is the processor I am using day in and day out and it is by far the best piece of hardware I have ever owned. Not only does it work perfectly and stay cool, it over-clocks like no tomorrow.

I have my little E8400 running at 4.0Ghz on air-cooling which was a lot easier to set-up than I... Read full review »

Pros Best value 4.0Ghz Dual Core 6MB L2 Cache processor available today.
Cons $165 less for me to spend on pizza.
Recommended it? Yes

Having built many PCs back to the days of paying $1,000 for a processor that ran at 100hz, recalling the progressions over almost 30 years has brought me to the point where justifying the purchase of another CPU has become nearly impossible due to the almost instantaneous launch and multi-task...
