Product Description
The Intel Core 2 Quad processor is the latest in cutting edge processor technology for the desktop PC. Based on the Intel Core micro-architecture, the Intel Core 2 Quad processor delivers four complete execution cores within a single processor, delivering unprecedented performance and responsiveness. More instructions can be carried out per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute commands more quickly, and improved bus lanes move data throughout the system faster. Four dedicated, physical threads help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance, so you can experience better multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance across many types of applications and workload. A 4-pin connector is included for fan speed control to help minimize the acoustic noise levels generated from running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance. Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT) Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T) Execute Disable Bit Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS) Intel designed Thermal Solution for boxed processors CPU Speed - 2.40 GHz PCG - 05B Bus Speed - 1066 MHz Bus/Core Ratio - 9.0 L2 Cache size - 8 MB L2 Cache Speed - 2.40 GHz Package Type - LGA 775 Core Stepping - G0 S-spec - SLACR Core Voltage - 0.85V 1.5V

 Q6600 - Fan Broken August 26, 2008
Terrance A. Macgregor

Hi,
The product shipped quickly and I had no issues with the CPU. The fan however was broken and did not register with the motherboard. Unfortunately, the $2 fan could not be replaced without shipping the entire package back. It just wasn't worth the cost and put me out for about a week until I could purchase another fan.
Overall, the company that I bought from was great, I just wish that they were a little flexible with their return policy.
As for the product, intel + broken fan? = :-(
This is THE chip to get August 24, 2008
Ashraf Eassa (New Hampshire, USA)
So, I'm one of those guys who spends way too much time on my computer, doing everything from gaming to programming. A few months back, I needed an upgrade from my Pentium D 925 because quite a few games were becoming quite slow, so I figured I'd go with the newer "Core 2" line to help bolster my computer's power (along with a new graphics chip). However, what I got was a lot more than what I had originally expected, which was merely more frames per second.
This processor -- with its four massively powerful cores -- truly redefines "multitasking". Whereas on my old machine, I would always limit the number of things I was doing at once (maybe watching a movie while typing up a word document), there's virtually no limit here! I can play graphics intensive games while having a movie running in the background while I encode some of my latest recordings into MP3 format without so much as a hitch on this thing! The multithreading capabilities that come with the chip are truly astounding!
However, it's not all about multitasking. I'm an avid gamer, and for the latest crop of games, with their multithreaded game engines, this chip proves to be a beast. Games such as Unreal Tournament 3 and Crysis would crawl on my old Pentium D, but with this new chip, I see a dramatic difference in framerate (I can chalk a lot of the gain up to my new gfx card, but I benchmarked my Core 2 Quad v.s. my Pentium D on the new video card, and even then, there was a massive improvement). Games nowadays are becoming increasingly multithreaded due in part to the existence chips like these, but also because of the Xbox 360 and PS3 architectures which force developers to write multithreaded code. It's only a matter of time before today's latest games require at least a dual core processor, so with this thing, you're ahead of the game.
Yes, I'm gushing about this thing. But, really, if you take away anything from this review, just note how ecstatic I am to have this chip. No matter what applications you run, whether you're a gamer or an audiophile, this chip will improve your computing experience.
Did I also mention it's a great value and a hell of an overclocker (I'm running it at 3.3GHz)?
Buy it!
Still nead to put it to the test August 7, 2008
D. S. Henriques (Brazil)
Great product, easy to install, awesome performance, though I haven't given it much of a challenge yet. I'm looking forward to when we'll have more applications using the full power of a quad-core.
I was lucky to get the one with the new stepping, so maybe I'll do some overclocking when the time is right. No point now; 4 core processors at 2.4GHz is more than enough at the moment.
damn good July 16, 2008
Jeremiah Larson (Minneapolis, MN)
this beats my old 2.8 p4ht
this processor is amazing for its price.. well worth it!
Great stock, OC it and it will FLY! July 10, 2008
Andrew A. Ferry
After some shipping issues (USPS idiocy, not Amazon's), I finally got this processor and fired it up. Stock it's really nice, but OC it a little and it FLIES. I was pleased when I received the GO stepping of this (newer edition) as it OC's much better than the earlier edition. With just the stock heat sink and a decent thermal paste, I was able to get this up to a stable 2.82 Ghz from the stock 2.4, with reasonable heat levels (during stress testing it never exceeded 59C), and didn't even have to mess with voltages to get it there. With water cooling you can easily get this well over 3 Ghz. Stable as hell, and the performance gains are incredible. If you've got a decent mobo, you can OC this to (and past) the performance of the more expensive "Extreme" processors, for about half the price. Bottom line: get this processor and you will not be sorry.
