    Product Description
    The Intel Core 2 Quad processor is the latest in cutting edge processor technology for the desktop PC. Based on the Intel Core micro-architecture, the Intel Core 2 Quad processor delivers four complete execution cores within a single processor, delivering unprecedented performance and responsiveness. More instructions can be carried out per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute commands more quickly, and improved bus lanes move data throughout the system faster. Four dedicated, physical threads help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance, so you can experience better multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance across many types of applications and workload. A 4-pin connector is included for fan speed control to help minimize the acoustic noise levels generated from running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance. Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T) Execute Disable Bit Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) Intel designed Thermal Solution for boxed processors CPU Speed - 2.40 GHz PCG - 05B Bus Speed - 1066 MHz Bus/Core Ratio - 9.0 L2 Cache size - 8 MB L2 Cache Speed - 2.40 GHz Package Type - LGA 775 Core Stepping - G0 S-spec - SLACR Core Voltage - 0.85V 1.5V

    5 out of 5 stars damn good   July 16, 2008
    Jeremiah Larson (Minneapolis, MN)
    this beats my old 2.8 p4ht

    this processor is amazing for its price.. well worth it!




    5 out of 5 stars Great stock, OC it and it will FLY!   July 10, 2008
    Andrew A. Ferry
    After some shipping issues (USPS idiocy, not Amazon's), I finally got this processor and fired it up. Stock it's really nice, but OC it a little and it FLIES. I was pleased when I received the GO stepping of this (newer edition) as it OC's much better than the earlier edition. With just the stock heat sink and a decent thermal paste, I was able to get this up to a stable 2.82 Ghz from the stock 2.4, with reasonable heat levels (during stress testing it never exceeded 59C), and didn't even have to mess with voltages to get it there. With water cooling you can easily get this well over 3 Ghz. Stable as hell, and the performance gains are incredible. If you've got a decent mobo, you can OC this to (and past) the performance of the more expensive "Extreme" processors, for about half the price. Bottom line: get this processor and you will not be sorry.


    5 out of 5 stars Good CPU   June 27, 2008
    Dennis F. Hardin (NC USA)
    Does all that I expected. I have not used this processor for long but so far I am very pleased with it. It is a very stable and tough processor. I have run it pretty hot with no problems yet.


    5 out of 5 stars Excellent CPU   June 26, 2008
    Ronald K. Ellis (Sacramento)
    This processor works flawlessly and runs cool even in a room that is in the mid 80s. It is much faster than my 3.6 Ghz Pentium 4 cpu that I replaced it with. I am running it on a Ga-x48-DQ6 Gigabyte motherboard with 4 Gig of Gskill memory in a VX4000 Thermaltake case with a Sapphire HD 3870 graphics card. The case has a large fan in the front and the rear and a mid size fan on the side and is a very cool running case. My girl friend has almost the same setup in the same case with the same cpu and it runs very cool too.


    5 out of 5 stars it is fast   June 18, 2008
    Luis Gonzalez
    I put these on my gaming machine and i can run almost every game and app with no problem, exept for crysis but i am asuming the problem there is the video card not the processor
