5 out of 5 stars Work horse at its best   March 10, 2010
Harold Corley (SUMMERVILLE, SC, US)
Speed wise its not one of the fastest but give it a heavy load an watch the processing power at work. I'm notorious for multi-tasking and is very satisfied with this performance. Sure for $100 more I can upgrade but I would have to upgrade the memory to DDR3. That $100 can buy more DDR2 4Gig chips and you can't tell that much of a difference.This is a solid product. Do your own research. This is only my opinion.


5 out of 5 stars OK, be realistic!!!!!   May 21, 2009

OK, be realistic. This thing smokes! i am running windows 7 64bit, and this thing sits at about 4% usage at all times. i have peaked at 50% at times like when im running a game, unzipping a 4+gig file, browsers open, musics playing, virus scans going.. etc.. i know the cache on its low and the 9550 is only 100$ more, but thats a 100$!!! and this processor probably wont be your bottleneck, you'll be buying new ddr3 ram and bla bla bla.. look if your gonna go above the q8400.. then just buy the i7 920 and have the octocore (HT quad). if you want something that gets rediculous benchmarks under 200 bucks... get this one!!
