Pros: I got this processor because I was on a tight budget and wanted the most bang for the buck. Processor has not disappointed me. Some users state about the heat issue. from Newegg.com I've used five of theese in builds for friends and a machine for my mom. They take on all the games without a hitch and run quiet under stock settings. Cons: Use good paste on the heatsink, the stuff that comes on the stock intel is a little square of stuff thats not better than playdough. Other Thoughts: Even though its not as fancy as the Core 2 Duo chipset, it's still a great dual core for gaming, multi tasking and general use. from Newegg.com Pros: -Dual cores and nice overclocking possibilities. -Runs pc games very well. from Newegg.com Pros: Price, Price, Price. Good overclocker if you have a good heatsink. Whoever says this is not for gamers is wrong as the dual core can be initaied to be on the game with both cores.. Cons: Wife needs to go the AMD way Other Thoughts: Descent overclocker. from Newegg.com Pros: I know it is a good processor especially for the money HOWEVER I could not get it to work with my Abit AB9 motherboard. Sent it back and purchased an e4300. The dual core 2 processor booted right up. Cons: Could find nothing in the D 820 listing indicating it was limited to the 955 or 945 Intel chipset family. from Newegg.com Pros: Dual Core, High Clock Speed, 1 meg cache, runs great with a Cooler Master P4 Heat Sink. Cheap for a Dual core CPU. from Newegg.com Pros: Multi-tasking is great, this processor is quick. Stock fan and heat sink are excellent, (with thermal compound) I'm currently running 35c idle and 45c full bore. from Newegg.com Pros: um um um um Cons: waste of $xx not compatible with asus or abit boards, reads cpu temp wrong and shuts down, even when disabling that feature in the bios. good luck if you buy this, bought e6300 will find out Other Thoughts: Seems boards have too many problems with the celeron D processors stay away.... from Newegg.com Pros: It works, pretty fast, moved from athlon 1.4ghz, oldschool. Cons: none so far Other Thoughts: You get what you pay for. Dont complain. from Newegg.com Pros: Very good chip for the money. As has been well documented this is actually a pair of joined Prescotts, so it is based on a dated design, but for virtually all users it is plenty fast. Runs Vista very well on and ASUS 945G board. from Newegg.com
