- Strengths:
- - cheaper than i7
- relatively new design
- exceptional performance
- great FSB
- Weaknesses:
- - not an i7
- not a super computer
- not capable of deciphering FBI databases
- not able to compute rocket trajectory to moon and back
- Summary:
- It's really way more than enough for a home computer. I wonder what purpose people have in mind when they buy anything more expensive than this.
Awesome

- Strengths:
- Great overclocker, best of the Wolfdale's!
- Weaknesses:
- None
- Summary:
- The 8500 E0 stepping has long been regarded as one of the best overclockers out there. On water I was able to get mine to 4.5GHz prime stable, at 1.43V. If you're still in the 775 game, it doesn't get any better than this chip.
one of the best dual cores

- Strengths:
- High clocks - good for games
OC's very well
quite a workhorse for only a dual core
- Weaknesses:
- none
- Summary:
- I'm somewhat partial to AMD but this is an excellent chip. I use one of these at work and for only being a dual it can handle many tasks at once flawlessly. I work it hard with a lot of rendering and extreme spreadsheet calculations and the chip has rarely seemed inadequate. If you don't need a quad - consider this chip.
