Intel Pentium E6300 2.8GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

Comment:
Bought this for my old 757 socket motherboard laying around the house to build a new cheap rig works like a charm.

Intel's current Core 2 Duo line continues to be a pleasure to worth with, thanks to its high performance and low power consumption. Lower power also means quieter running, making this CPU a great choice for a budget-minded home/business desktop.I paired this with an Asus mATX G43 motherboard and a Sparkly 350W PSU.

For the price, this CPU is surprisingly good. Used it in a budget gamer machine for my brother. Matched this up with 2GB DDR-2 800 and a Radeon 4650, runs Dragon age high settings p 1280x1024, as well as WoW. Definately reccomend this CPU.

Great budget CPU. Runs cool. VY allows for no perf loss using XP VM on Win 7 for any old application. Wife doesn't even realize some of her apps are running on VM.

Comment:
Good CPU for less than $100. fast speed and higher BUS make this a good overclocking CPU.VT enabled is a bonus.

I just need to change from a E5200 to one with one VT.So i buy this one. I hope this will be great and very OC.Cya!

This was the CPU chosen for my friend's build. He wanted something quick, but not for big bucks. This fit the bill. I was impressed as my machine has an older Core 2 Duo in it and this runs much quicker. This offers much better performance then the Celeron CPUs do and there isn't much of a price difference. Recommended.

Havent had this CPU for long, but on WinXP home SP3 (no antivirus yet) the system is downright snappy... I guess the clockspeed accounts for that. Chip runs pretty cool... no real complaints except that IT'S NOT A CORE 2 DUO like the picture shows! You can find stuff on an E6300 C2D on the web, but this isn't it.... Only reason I'm giving it 1 star off is for the confusion.

I've been using Win7 and my 5 year old Athlon could not run win XP in Win7 virtualization mode. I'd definatly buy it again.

Remember, this is the new E6300, which has a Wolfdale core. It's also very overclockable (running it at 4.0 GHz in one of our systems with a Gigabyte EP45-DS3L motherboard). Included fan is acceptable for regular use, but a better one is recommended for overclocking. Otherwise, good value for the money.

Used a couple of these recently and have been very impressed with them. They provide a good amount of speed, and still run in the low 30`s with the stock cooler which is very small. Overclocking is pretty good, haven`t had a chance to really push them and probably won`t but so far they take small jumps with ease. Great low cost CPU that performs very well.

Good cpu to play intensive games like GTA IV. Boot time is reduced. Good for multi-tasks. Performance is incresed over my previous Core 2 Duo E6300.

Comment:
(Listing Wrong) Intel changed the naming of this processor from a Core2Duo to a Pentium D. It is still a Core2Duo architecture but comes up as Pentium D.

Comment:
Cheap and Speedy at stock speed. An amazing deal oc'd at 3.4Ghz rock solid stability at stock voltage on a Zotac 9300 itx board with very little increase in temperature

Comment:
You really cant beat it.I was going to sell mine but im still contemplating keeping it because it was my first CPU I enjoyed using. HahaWould buy it again for a low budget build because it does oc well!

Comment:
Great purchase for the money. Price is just a little higher than the e5200. It's fast and cool. Works perfectly with my Gigabyte EP43-UD3L.

Comment:
This CPU is very very fast. It is comparable to my E7200 and will overclock to as high under stock voltage. I had it up to 4.0ghz under stock voltage and it ran very very well. Temps were normal at 60c under full stressed load using a T.R.U.E. Ver affordable chip for the pricepoint, and the best thing about NCIX, the PRICEMATCH! You can not beat this chip, for about $10 more than the E5200, this is your best bet, and is an excelent choice for an intermediate CPU. The value is outstanding! Well done Intel!
