Intel Celeron G540 Dual Core Sandy Bridge Processor 2.5GHZ LGA1155 2MB Cache 65W Retail Box
Cons:Nothing
Pros:Cheap and fast enough Comment:
Purchased this for a budget light duty gaming machine to be paired with a Radeon 6670. At this price range an AMD APU was a strong consideration. I went with the Celeron/GPU combo for potential future upgrades. An i3 and a 7770 could easily be put in this machine that would surely destroy any APU upgrade. |

Cons:none
Pros:CheapQuick for a CeleronFaster then a E7400 Comment:
I am impressed with this little CPU. I grabbed this to retire my FreeNAS box running a E7400 with 4GB RAM. For a basic system, this runs great.I would buy again for a basic build or very light gaming. Great price but even better with PM. |

Intel Celeron G540 Dual Core Sandy Bridge Processor 2.5GHZ LGA1155 2MB Cache 65W Retail Box
Cons:- no Hyperthreading may not be future proof
Pros:- quite fast Sandy Bridge dual core- very low price for the speed it gives- low temps means low noise Comment:
Bought this for a low cost build meant for browsing internet and other small uses. Pretty solid CPU for it's low price, made out of Sandy Bridge but without Hyperthreading and Turboboost but still has 2.5GHz. You still save around 80$ compared to the i3 2100 which I was previously looking at. |

Cons:Some twit is going to convince someone they need the latest i7 over this CPU for doing day to day tasks (even playing a few games out there)
Pros:It is almost September 2012 and this is still a decent processor.It uses very little electricity, a couple of watts on idle.It keeps up to my ladies facebook Flash games with GTX450I bought it for $39.99cdnI notice Almost Zero difference from the i3 550 I was running except a few more % of the CPU being Utilized Comment:
This was a downgrade for future upgrade for us. We bought a LGA 1155 board with this lower end CPU in it. Will upgrade the CPU at a future date. Had a LGA 1156, i3, which is now in the kids computer still running fine. |

Cons:None
Pros:FastCheapHandle HD content well Comment:
Surprisingly capable little processor. Put it in my mini-itx box, serve as an HTPC and basic computing device, paired with an SSD, everything is snappy, I don't play games, so can't comment on that. But from document processing to video playback, this processor doen't even break a sweat. For $40, it is great bargain. |

Intel Celeron G540 Dual Core Sandy Bridge Processor 2.5GHZ LGA1155 2MB Cache 65W Retail Box
Cons:- Not enough speed for some game
Pros:-Excellent Price / Performance-Runs Cool Comment:
Bought this to upgrade an old AM2 HTPC. So far runs much cooler and faster than the old A64 4200 when running games. Noticeable improvement in Civ5, Anno 1404, CitiesXL games, although still not enough horsepower for large Civ5 games. This, paired with an old 8800GT can run these games quite well and at an incredible price. |

Intel Celeron G540 Dual Core Sandy Bridge Processor 2.5GHZ LGA1155 2MB Cache 65W Retail Box
Cons:can't overclock it
Pros:Cheap, powerfull, low power consumption Comment:
Picked up one of these for my freenas box upgrade. Needed more RAM to run Raid-z1. Why spend $120 on DDR2 when i can spend $160 on a cpu, board, and 8GB of DDR3. This CPU is no slouch either, basically a lower clocked core i3. Sips power, which is great for a 24/7 home server, and sholdn't need to update for years to come. Also, combined with a board, this cost the same as (a much slower) AMD E-350 fusion setup. No brainer. |

Cons:None
Pros:Price is cheap for a good amount of power Comment:
For the price can't complain much with the decent amount of power it has, the integrated GPU so far is handling 1080p content without issueFits snug into a Mini-Box M350 case, no need for a smaller heat sink |
I bought this little cpu for replacing my father's dead computer after it drank too much coffee :(. It was really hard to find better bang for the buck than this if you were building a no-frill computer. It is little slower than pentium class, but you pay as little as half of the money. Beside being one of the cheapest cpu available, it sips less power, and stays quiet even under full load. This is really great for mom and pop computer.
