Strengths: Dual Core 3.0GHz with 6MB L2 cache. Cheaper than E6850 with more L2 cache. Runs very cool. FSB is 1333MHz.
Weaknesses: None
Summary: I upgraded from a Pentium D 945 and found this CPU to run at least 10C-12C cooler. Idle temp was 32C. Under a heavy load (which wasn't stressing the computer out) it got to about 42C. The C2D architecture is definitely far more superior than the Pentium D series dual cores. I would highly recommend this CPU due to its price point and outstanding low temps and performance.
