Strengths: high stock performance

Weaknesses: similiar performanceto e6600 when overclocked

Summary: I was skeptical at first but the processor does shine on the p35 boards. stock numbers are great especially for price, but the e6600 i think offers similiar performance when overclocked. a very good chip nonetheless.

Strengths: This thing is an overclocking machine. 3.2ghz easily without adding voltage, could probably get 3.5ghz with no sweat. I haven't messed with voltages, but a popular website got this proc. to 3.92 with ease.

Weaknesses: Are you kidding? - None

Summary: With a bump of the FSB to 400, and no change in voltage you can toast the Extreme one-thousand dollar processor. What more could you ask for? Currently running P35-DS3P, with 4MB of Crucial Extreme ram with Vista.

Strengths: High FSB, new steeping: G0, lower power consumption,

Weaknesses: price

Summary: I buy E6750 becase 1)the Core 2 Cuo E6750 has high FSB: 1333Mhz, and thus the higher stock clock speed, 2) the G0 steeping consume low power, thus it generate less heat, so it's more easier to overclock. The 6x50 also has 4MB cache, which make it a lottle faster in cache sensitive App. The price is only 2/3 that of E6850.For $200, I thinl it's a little high.

Strengths: Speed, low temperature, low power consumption

Weaknesses: None that I can think of

Summary: I upgraded my computer with this processor, replacing an Pentium D 2.8GHz. I am really amazed at the spped of this processor, even without any overclocking. I am a graduate students that needs to do a lot of programming, and my codes now runs 3-4 times faster. The temperature is also very low, only about 25C, as oppose to 50+C with Pentium D. Overall, I am very happy with this processor, great bang for the buck.

Strengths: G0 stepping is great and make the CPU run cool. Easy to overclock. Reasonable Price.

Weaknesses: The stock fan is a little loud.

Summary: The stock heatsink has thermal grease on it, so needn't to buy a extra grease.It is very easy for overclock. I OCed it to 3.0GHZ with the vcore=1.2V. When I tried to OCed it to 3.2+GHZ, I found I had to add the voltage(My MB choose 1.35V automatically). I OCed it to 3.66GHZ and it is still stable but a little heat, nearly 10C higher than it that runs on 3.0GHZ

Strengths: Speed, and cost

Weaknesses: I have yet to find any.

Summary: My last computer was built about 5 years ago so you can imagine the speed I am upgrading from to this speed demon. My old AMD was also giving me some stability issues so I went with this intel and for the last 5 days I haven't had a single problem. I haven't overclocked it as I am looking for long life and stability in my HTPC. The size of the cooler provided with the chip surprised me but it keeps me running around 40 degees celsius. I plan on upgraded the fan to a slightly quieter and cooler solution but for now the stock suits me just fine.installation was a breeze, unlike my amd but as expected with time comes easier install.The price point surprised me because I recall paying at least 400 dollars for my processer 5 years ago at pretty much the same performance level back then. I would very much reccommend purchasing this chip.

Strengths: Competitive price, runs really fast, the 1333 FSB definitely worth the slight price increase, completely compatible with my Abit IP35-E MB.

Weaknesses: None.

Summary: Really like it. Definitely choose this one over the 1066 FSB models, for a little more you will get a lot more! And I'd glad to upgrade over my previous Intel E4300.

Strengths: Great Price for 2.66 ghz/1333 fsb processor! No problem installing on my Asus P5N-E nForce 650i SLI motherboard. Stock heat sink and fan took just a little force to get on the MB, but not much.

Weaknesses: No indication of what kind of paste on the heatsink

Summary: The stock heatsink works as long as you are not overclocking. It has some sort of paste on the heatsink, but no reference of what kind. Replace the paste with some good quality thermal grease like Artic Silver 5.

Strengths: Comes will a 3 year warranty from retail. OC to 3.0 GHZ with no problems

Weaknesses: None

Summary: One of the best processor I ever got. Using a Asus P5N-E Motherboard with AI overclocking made easy. Pump it up with a XFX 8600GT 3X edition video card. No heat issue yet.

Strengths: Fast 1333 MHz Bus, 4 MB L2 cache, low power consumption at 65W, heat sink and fan included. 3-year warranty. This CPU can be overclocked to 3.2 - 3.5 GHz with quality components.

Weaknesses: None

Summary: I researched all the Intel processors and found the Core 2 Duo family to provide the best performance, value, and overclocking potential. I purchased the E6750 (~$190) as it was a high-end CPU more reasonably priced than the top-of-the-line E6850 (~$280). The processor and heat sink/fan combo installed easily in a Gigabyte P35-GA-DS3P motherboard. The heat sink already comes with thermal grease that can be easily smeared if not careful when attaching it to the CPU. I run the CPU at stock speed and the ambient case temperature is about 31C. The CPU can be overclocked to 3.2-3.5 GHz but I have not overclocked it myself as the stock speed is already fast enough to run all my existing applications and games, i.e. Vista, Office 2007, Quicken and CC. Overclocking can lessen the life of the components and increase heat inside the case, but it can future-proof the PC for the next couple of years until more CPU intensive applications and/or games are available.

Strengths: Fast and Relatively Affordable

Weaknesses: None.

Summary: This chip is very fast. It has 1333FSB and can handle pretty much anything you throw at it. Overclocking isn't necessary with this chip but if one was incline to do so it is very possible. The price on this is cheaper than E6600 now which only has 1066FSB and is 2.4Ghz. This is the best bang for the buck.

Strengths: Blazingly fast, cool, and a great price

Weaknesses: none

Summary: Intel continues to exceed expectations with this generation of core 2 duo chips. The E6750 has more than enough performance, overclocks like mad, stays cool, and comes at a great price. Highly recommended.

Strengths: Good specs for the price. Core 2 architecture is always a plus.

Weaknesses: Would've been nice to find this processor as an OEM item to save a few dollars.

Summary: This processor was easy to install and it came with a nice heatsink/fan. LGA 775 specifications mean this is easy to work with and hard to mess something up / break something.

Strengths: Speed, cost G0 stepping, 4MB L2 cache, 1333MHz FSB, you name it

Weaknesses: None so far

Summary: This is a really nice CPU. I was able to OC it to 3.2GHz with the stock cooling. It works well with Abit IP35-E motherboard and Ballistix PC2-6400 memory. I will try to OC it to 3.6GHz or higher when I get my aftermarket cooler.

Strengths: price, low power consumption

Weaknesses: none

Summary: Works great at 8x400mhz without voltage change on my abit ip35 board. CPU core temp stabilizes around 35C when idle, 55C when fully utilized. Excellent core 2 architecture. Can not beat it in the ~$200 price range. Great performance/price ratio.
