Strengths: Strong, fast, easily overclockable within reason with stock fan (1 Ghz with 5-10 temp rise)
Weaknesses: None
Summary: I didn't want to pay the premium for the latest i7 core, so this one is a bargain. Easily souped up to satisfy most people. Even stock speed is fast. I am not a gamer! I overclocked because I could.

Strengths: Great price; overclockability
Weaknesses: None
Summary: Has provided a wonderfully fast experience with the Asus P6T Deluxe at its default speeds; looking forward to overclocking (which all websites report to be very easy) right on up to 4GHz on air. There's no easy way to justify spending more on a 940 or 965XE when this one overclocks so easily.
