Great Dual Core CPU for most average/advance users. Haven't run into many bottlenecks with this one. Price for performance against high end dual core CPU's is well justified.
Most programs don't require the use of quadcore only some games and editing/rendering software come to mind so for the time being, dual core is the way to go. For typical users this is more than sufficient.

this processor is very fast and easy to install. I changed from the Quad core Q6600 to this unit and I'm much happier with it.

Fantastic CPU
24 Oct 2008
This CPU has a great cost/performance ratio. While I do not overclock, it runs at 3.17 Ghz on an ASUS P5Q mother board with 4 gigs of CORSAIR DDR2 800 speed ram. While I did not have any problems loading Vista Home Premium, if your verson is not SP-1, then only have 2 gigs of ram onboard at the time of install and do not increase it to 4 gigs until SP-1 installs. Also, the P5Q series of mother boards is very new and while it does take advantage of all of the features of the Intel E8500 CPU, one of the first things you need to do is upgrade the BIOS to the lastest available from ASUS. With these cautions, you will have a blazing fast system that is in a moderate price range.
