Excellent Processor
I have just bought one of these and it is absolutely amazing. Running Ableton 6 (music studio software) on my old Intel 2.0Ghz processor I could run a composition with 4 channels of midi with effects and then hit 100% CPU. The same composition on the new processor uses 4% CPU -it barely ticks over! The processor also runs at around 32 degrees C with the out-of-the-box heat sink. Great processor, great value for money.

Excellent CPU
I built a new system from MD around this chip and have to say that it all worked like a charm. I am running the chip @3Ghz with no problems and very reasonable temps (air cooled with Artic Freezer 7). When compared to the price of the QX6800 for example, this is excellent value for money.

I'm so glad I decided to get the g0 step version. Its so fast anyhow, but I was very surprised with temps :o With a Zalman 9700, my CPU is 31 degrees C idle, and 37 degrees C when working in my Antec 900 case. Haven't tried to overclock yet. I can't wait to run 3D software!

Intel Q6600 Quad Core G0 Stepping
Bought this chip to replace Intel duel core 6850.Overclocked it to 3Ghz using FSB of 333Hz using standard Intel cooler and standard voltage.This chip is fast and represents great value.I'm running Vista at the moment and the extra cores seem to make a difference to Vistas performance.

Wow.
amazing cpu, upgraded from a 1.3ghz athlon so i'm bound to be impressed but this cpu completely eliminates having to wait for your computer to do something, it's near instantaneous. INCREDIBLY easy to overclock just by increasing FSB speed to 333 in my case which upped it to 3ghz. not bad at all for a four core 2.4ghz £160 CPU if you've been thinking about getting one, do it. you will not be disappointed.

I bought this as an upgrade to the D945 and noticed the difference straight away. If you're going to o/c it though, buy the ASUS Silent Knight II to go with it - only £30 and for that it runs both cooler and quieter.

Straight into the BIOS, up the FSB to 1333 - 3.06GHz, all on default voltages. Easiest thing in the world. At less than £100 you can't go wrong

Got this a while back, forgot to write a review... It's so amazing though - 4 cores running @ 2.4 is a big step from my old P4 @ 3.2. Instantaneous application loading - you click, it opens :-) If you haven't got one, GET ONE!!!

| Summary | A fine chip to be sure, and the Core 2's last gasp before the Intel performance-to-pennies juggling act really starts to fall apart. With the E6420 turning up for just over £100, the extra £30 on the asking price for this becomes hard to justify |

| Summary | Nearly £150 for an extra 200MHz. If you're of the opinion that that sounds like a pretty rum deal, then join the club. Unlike its Extreme Edition sibling, the E6700 can't even claim to offer the dubious benefit of an unlocked CPU multiplier |
| Pros | Versatile functionality, Affordable, Excellent integer and SSE performance |
