Intel - Processors Box Pentium E6500 2.93G 1066FSB 2MB 64 XD S775
Cons: Stock heatsink is not that good.

Pros: Overclocking to 3.68 stable. Runs all my games even BC2. And o 3.68 it gets a lot more FPS in game.
Comment:
Anybody who is Overclocking this CPU with the stock heatsink has no brains. Please don't do this as it is a stupid idea. If you going to overclock, BUY a COOLER don't be cheap.

Intel - Processors Box Pentium E6500 2.93G 1066FSB 2MB 64 XD S775
Cons: I'd like to have an i7

Pros: Low heat.. Works well with the heatsink cam with it.
Comment:
Just intalled this and it runs cool... Added - Kingston HyperX 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-1066 PC2-8500 5-5-5-15 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit to go with it but right now I see 20C. Seen it go up to 32 gaming and high def display.Runny heatsick and fan came with it. Debated if I should clean and repaste but I need not to. Very happy. I prevouly had a pentium 830 that ran very hot.... It's works pretty good for the buck.

Cons: None

Pros: PriceStabilityOverclock-ability
Comment:
Bought this to replace an old Pentium D805 since I didn't want to fork money for a i5/i7 CPU AND a motherborad. Works great and stable at about 27~30 degrees on a hot summer day at 3.5GHzGreat for a budget build and still be able to do some light gaming and processor intensive work.Bad thing is that I lost a nice heater at my feet in winter.

Intel - Processors Box Pentium E6500 2.93G 1066FSB 2MB 64 XD S775
Cons: Thermal grease, or lack of in my case - see summary

Pros: PriceSpeed
Comment:
I purchased two these for the office. Both computer builds would just shut down after 5-10 secs. I tried different ram, power supply, hard drive, heatsink.... Windows wouldn't install either and any mem tests would result in the systems turning off. I inspected the CPU more closely and realized that there was very minimal thermal grease. It didn't "spread" and was clumpy / hard.I scraped off what was there and replaced with my own. Re-seated the CPUs and heatsinks. Everything is now rock solid now.

When you just browse the Internet or watch DVD on your computer, you don't need an i3. This CPU was on sale and is perfect for its price.

Intel - Processors Box Pentium E6500 2.93G 1066FSB 2MB 64 XD S775
Cons: Doesn't Overclock as well as something like an E8400 but that is to be expected

Pros: 2.93GHz65w
Comment:
Bought this as a holder until some of the more mature 1155 processors come out. For the price at the time ($69.99) I couldn't pass it up. This will definitely be a step up from an Old Pentium D.You can price match this to $69.99 if you google it :P.

Pros: Kinda cheap, good cpu for a lga 775 mobo laying around

I bought this to use on a motherboard that was collecting dust and it works great. Not the best cpu around but for that price it's more than fine

Cons: low cache

Pros: Speed and frequency of processor over price
Comment:
This is a great CPU for those wanting more power than a celeron, but do not want to fork out the money for a core2 or i3/5/7. This processor is capable of running any business software, as well as some of the latest entry level games.

I bought this for a secondary computer and it impresses me! My main PC has a Q9550 and for normal web surfing I don't notice mush difference between the two. Highly recomended for a basic build!

Pros: très bon processeur facile à installer en place
Comment:
Installé dans mon ordinateur avec une nouvelle carte mère . Très facile à mettre en place et le refroidisseur est très gros avec un ventilateur quand même assez silencieux . Bonne performance milieu de gamme . Je ne suis pas un GAMER.

Intel - Processors Box Pentium E6500 2.93G 1066FSB 2MB 64 XD S775
Cons: Based on the pentium duel cores.

Pros: Overclocks like a champ. Also the stock head sink makes a great paper weight.
Comment:
If your looking for decent chip for a low end 775 system the E6500 is a great choice. I'm running it on a P5k SE so my overclocking ability is limited but I still managed to get it up to 3.6 stable. Temps are great, but i'm using an aftermarket CPU cooler.

Cons: None

Pros: Strong - Great Priced CPU
Comment:
Not a whole lot to say other than this cpu is an easy five star choice. This is definitely a "most bang for the buck" type of deal. for around $80 bucks, it offers a considerable gain on the lower models.

Intel - Processors Box Pentium E6500 2.93G 1066FSB 2MB 64 XD S775
Cons: 2Mb Cache doesn't allow it to run as many programs as the clock could

Pros: Fast Budget Processor
Comment:
With the Dual cores and the nice FSB this processor could have really benefited from a bigger cache for storing and crunching numbers but is quite a wonderful deal when you throw a bigger heatsink on top of it.

Intel - Processors Box Pentium E6500 2.93G 1066FSB 2MB 64 XD S775
Cons: Terrible stock fan

Pros: Good PriceNo issues with HDNo issues with modern gamesDual core allows for stable system usageRuns StarCraft 2Runs WoW
Comment:
I bought this CPU to build a gaming system for my brother. For the price, it made quite a good deal, especially that it is capable of running HD videos, and even the latest games without much issues. The stock fan however was quite terrible, and idle temperatures where at 70C. I would recommend purchasing a quality CPU cooler such as the ones manufactured by NOCTUA.

Pros: seems good, stable and reliable.
Comment:
I use this for HTPC and for the price it seems to do it's job quite well. I have never had a glitch yet. It is quite a bit cheaper that a core 2 duo and seems to perform as wee for this job. Better than an atom unit.

Intel - Processors Box Pentium E6500 2.93G 1066FSB 2MB 64 XD S775
Cons: - Not an i7? :)

Pros: - Fast stock performance- Overclocks quite well- Cheap- Dual core- Energy efficient
Comment:
Got this CPU for a budget build, but so far it can handle anything I've thrown at it. It won't be as fast as a Core ix series, but it's terrific bang for the buck!The stock 2.93GHz runs well, but I've been able to overclock it to 3.5GHz with no problem using the included heatsink/fan. Windows 7 CPU Index of 6.7.At under $80, it's a great performer across the board, and pretty energy efficent as well.

FIVE Stars except the fan provided with !
Comment:
Good Processor after I finally bought another new motherboard as the one I ordered with it was (DOA MSI G31). I see the reviews on it and i am not the first one to get a DOA MSI G31. The Processor is very good to Excellent depending upon your motherboard resources and memory it can be a very fast processor. Better keep it COOL !

Great Processor
Comment:
This processor exceeded my expectations - my computer does everything very quickly and without problems. Only negative is the fan that is included - while that saved me some money because I did not have to buy a seperate fan, I am not real sure it is doing all that is needed and did not like the way it attaches to the motherboard.

What a difference!!!!!
Comment:
Replaced an old Pentium 4 2.66 Ghz single core and what a difference! I was trying to play Call of Duty World at War and it just wouldn't do it but when I installed this cpu, it amazed me at the speed that it loaded and how much more responsive the game was. You can't beat this site for value, price, or service.

Comment:
So much better than my pentium 4 processor! I guess any processor after the pentium 4 would be. I'm almost 2 months in now and it's been running really stable. It's quick and performing very well. The speed is amazing!
