best cpu at the price range... bar noneStrengths: very good performance at a reasonable price Weakness: the included stock heatsink fan is a bit loud i've always been a fan of AMD and have used AMD processors on my previous computers. this is the first time i've ever used an intel processor as a main rig. i've already read up on most of the hype surrounding the processor, so i already knew what i was getting when i purchased it. i paired this up with the gigabyte intel 965 based motherboard and 2 1gb sticks of pqi ddr2 memory. windows was...

Budget Core 2, highly overclockableStrengths: When pair with Gigabyte DS3 or Asus P5B, it could overclock to 100% of standard speed. Like others said, it depends on CPU and case cooling. Runs cool at stock speed. Weakness: Core 2 Duo's have design errors (errata) that could cause data corruption. If this serious problem can be easily reproduced, I hope Intel will replace older ones. I currently run at with stock heat sink. I plan to use third party cooling solution such as Scythe Infinity or Thermaltake Ultra-120 in Antec P180 case. If you have Asus P5B deluxe, don't forget to update the latest 0507 BIOS that provides better overclocking and ability to adjust the multiplier of most Core 2 CPUs. See www.anandtech.com/mb/s....

Intel core 2 duo E6300Strengths: 3yr warranty, box includes fan, very fast; good price when on sale; runs cool at factory clock speed. Weakness: fan a little tricky to install - to click into the motherboard; position of processor on the motherboard socket was not immediately apparent from the enclosed diagram - care must be used. I like this processor very much. For rendering DVD's using Sony DVD Architect, this processor is 43-58% FASTER than a Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz, single core, and COOLER. Plus, even while rendering, I can use other programs such as MS Word with little noticeable slowdown in either program. Yet, the cost of this processor on sale was similarly priced to a Pentium 4 3.2 dual core as of sept 06.

Works great for meStrengths: Fast, two cores, cool sticky stuff for the fan Weakness: It's not the extreme version This processor was easy to install, fully compatible with my nVidia motherboard, really fast and generally a good processor. I especially liked the fact that the processor and fan were really easy to install.

Best cpu for the price today!Strengths: Great speed out of the box and very good overclocking potential, plus it only uses 65w of power. Weakness: I hear that the stock cooler doesn't perform that well and is loud. I can't attest to this since I went with an aftermarket cooler from the start. I was able to find this processor retail boxed for $175 and it performs very well. Originally I was thinking of getting an x2 3800+, but with the small price difference and the much greater performance and oc'ing potential of the c2d chips I decided to go with this. It runs cool at stock, about 36c idle and 44c load with my cooler. I bought a cheap board for now until prices on the better...

Best overclockerStrengths: Low price but great overclocker. I build new PC with a Gigabyte DS3 motherboard, Consair 6400 2G RAM, Thermaltake Big Typhoon. I am OC'ing it at 3.1 GHz with 430MHz FSB. Weakness: Stock heatsink/fan is inadequate if you want overclock more than 3 GHz. You need better cooling like Thermaltake Big Typhoon. Overall, for about US$400, you can get a Core 2 Duo E6300 processor, a capable overclocking friendly motherboard, and an aftermarket cooler which you can overclock it that would beat the pants off any stock Intel or AMD processor available in the market.

The best contender for budget over-clocker's !Strengths: Dual Core, low price, low power consumption, performance potential. Weakness: stock cpu fan For performance on a budget, I'd have to put the Intel E6300 at the top of the list! I am amazed at how easy it OC's with my Gigabyte DS3 mobo and stock cooling. It is stable for me at 2.6 Ghz (same speed as E6700), but it can go up to 3+ Ghz with proper cooling. The only question is whether all the other components will function at the higher clock range (i.e. memory, video card). Basically,...

Best budget cpuStrengths: cheapest core2, great performance Weakness: 2M in stead of 4M After such a long time Intel finally bring out such a monster family, Core 2 Duo. Although it is the cheapest one among the others, E6300 still performance quite well for most of the bench marks comparing with those in the similar price range from AMD. I used AMD's for the last two years, but I should say this is an revolution.

Great budget cpu!Strengths: Best cpu available at present. Weakness: It's not free... Super multi-tasking capability and cool running to boot. It's a no brainer to overlook all other chips now. Buy this one and see why it's the best deal.

Core 2 E4300 vs. E6300 Overclocking Battle
The only real difference between the E6300 and E4300 is that the slower E4300 does not include Intel's Virtualization Technology. Ultimately this means almost nothing, as it will not affect the processor's performance or overclocking abilities. Top

Intel Core 2 Duo & Core Extreme Processors, Chipsets And Performance Analysis
In every benchmark we ran, both of the Core 2 processors we tested outperformed the Athlon 64 FX-62 and Athlon 64 5000+, and they handily outpaced the Pentium Extreme Edition 965 as well. The Core 2 Duo E6700 and Core 2 Extreme X6800 put up some of the fastest benchmark scores we have seen to date. Clock-for-Clock, the Core 2 Duo E6700 and Core 2 Extreme X6800 are faster than any other desktop... Top

Awesome bang for the buck!
Strengths: Cheap (for a cool dual-core); great documentation; works as advertised
Weakness: Stock cooler is lame
I am building two new systems, and decided to go budget on one and middle-of the road on the other. For the cheap build, I went with the e6300. For $190, how can you go wrong??!! You can't find an equivalent performer from the Intel D8xx or D9xx line in the same price range. This went into an ASUS P5WDH Deluxe motherboard with PC2-5400 DDR2 RAM, and it worked great from the get-go. I did have to...
