I use my E6700 in a Windows 7 x64 build, used by my partner for general surfing and music, playing DVDs, and the occasional photo-editing (Lightroom 3). I have had no complaints regarding performance.
I built this computer with old LGA775 components (motherboard, 4GB memory), and a DirectX 9 gaming graphics card. As all the components other than the CPU were cast-offs, this was a very cheap build. This is probably the selling point of the E6700 - it is the cheapest CPU you can add to an old LGA775 motherboard to knock something up that will run Windows 7 x64 quickly and without needing a cheeky overclock.
The only downside is that the E6700 doesn't seem to be that overclockable unless you increase the core voltage (which makes the CPU run hot), but at stock it is plenty fast and quiet enough for what I need!
Even for high end games, it is worth noting that almost all of them are still only optimised for dual cores (for example, Skyrim and Shogun 2, two big 2011 games, are documented as being optimised for dual core), and unless you are playing something really cutting edge such as Crysis 2, a fast LGA dual core is still indistinguishable from a slower LGA quad.

I bought this processor as a full pc upgrade so that I could play Skyrim and BF3 when it comes out. It's got great performance and Windows 7 Ultimate x64 boots in under 30 seconds. Minecraft's FPS got boosted from 40fps (on an old p4) to over 200fps with the addition of this CPU. No game I can throw at it lags at any time when there are large physics calculations etc. Bearing in mind a slower Core 2 Duo or i3 can cost you more money; this processor is great value. Plus the 3 year warranty gives you peace of mind if it breaks.
Intel provide you with a stock fan in the box. Although this fan is ok for office use I would not recommend you use it for anything stressful. It comes with a little thermal grease on the bottom but it would be a wise idea to get some more.

I'm using the E6700 in my home built computer and I can safely say that it's faster than my laptop's Core 2 Duo CPU.
I bought this because it was cheap and offered a resonable amount of speed. Turns out that that it offers bags of speed. Please don't be put off because it is a Pentium!
Overall an excellent processor. 5* for shipping as well. My order came 2 days after purchasing on Amazon.
