Customer Review: Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad Core Processor
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd like to be able to say that having the new processor in my ('homebrew') PC has made it twice-as-responsive (etc.) but I've run into the limitations of Windows XP. With my Windows installation being the 32 bit version (for obvious reasons because that's what I had to have with the previous processor) the quad core processor can't really show its capabilities.
First (though), and most importantly, when I changed-out my existing Core2 Duo processor and installed the quad core .... the PC turned-up just like I hoped when I pushed the power button. It has performed flawlessly.
I am working to get the 64 bit version of UBUNTU LINUX installed but have run into a minor roadblock relating to the 'false RAID' feature on my Intel motherboard (DG965WH). Once I get UBUNTU working I am hoping to see a benefit of the quad cores.
Customer Review: Excelente procesador a un precio realmente bajo!
Summary: 5 Stars
Antes aun precio promedio de $550, ahora $270. Lo he comprado dos veces! ninguno de los dos fue un G0 ambos B3, igual sigue siendo un procesador excelente. Amazon, cada semana baja mas de precio! Creo ya se mantiene. Es excelente para aplicaciones como edición de video y diseño en general, para los juegos también es muy bueno, este bebe se comporta excelente con el juego de Crysis. Es cierto que este procesador casi no lo aprovechan la mayoría de aplicaciones en el mercado, pero por el precio y su rendimiento es excelente! Es de 2.4Ghz y fácil lo puedes llevar a 3.0Ghz con un sencillo pero buen overclock. En resumen si tu PC es tu herramienta de trabajo con este procesador será un sueño trabajar. Por ultimo, a futuro sus perspectivas son muy buenas... solo habra que ver si ese futuro llega.Customer Review: Best processor for those hoping to skip I7
Summary: 5 Stars
Just got this processor as a replacement for my E6400 2.13GHZ. At the time the E6400 was a best bang for buck purchase and so is the Q6600! Though newer technologies have come along, this processor is everything I had hoped for despite being released a couple years ago.
Based on the way I use my computer (mostly gaming and running a couple virtual machines) I should have no trouble holding out for I9, or whatever intel comes up with next. If you are looking to upgrade your socket 775 system so you can hold out a little longer before having to replace your motherboard and not pay Q9650 prices, this is the processor for you. The 8MB of cache and ability to easily overclock to 3.2GHZ on air really makes this processor a steal.
Overall, I feel like I got a very good performance increase for the price.
Customer Review: Great bargain
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this q6600 for some time now and I love it. I paired mine with a nice motherboard from EVGA (but you can find a nice cheaper alternative). Now there should only be the G0 series that are being sold as appose to the B3 that they started with. This means that if your motherboard will allow it you can easily overclock these without any modification from stock parts. I wouldn't go too high but its possible. Excellent reliability and price for such a amazing processor. I know the I7 is out and you can get the extreme versions of these processors but its not worth it. 4 core 2.4ghz is more then enough for almost anything a normal user (even gamers) would need for some time. I would recommend this or maybe a step up to anyone looking to try and build a decent new computer on somewhat of a budgetCustomer Review: Intel Q6600 CPU on an INTEL DP35DP motherboard
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a Very fast CPU. and well worth the money. I paired it up with a Intel Motherboard model DP35DP. Both work fine togeather.
Make sure you buy the more recent version of the CPU with GO stepping, and eSpec SLACR. Box code on the outside of the box is BX80562Q6600SLACR.
The reson I mention this is if one use's the same Mobo. The Intel DP35DP motherboard is fully compatable later model of this CPU and only casualy compatable with previous model of the CPU which has a different stepping. It comes down to the revision's on the board. The GO stepping of the later model CPU's is said to be Much much better than previous version.
None the less a HIGHLY recomended CPU at a good price. Thank You AMAZON.com
