Fast, good overclocker [Posted on 2007-09-03]
After using AMD64 for a couple of years, I am back to Intel.
Core2duo is really amazing. This processor is fast, about 3.75 Ghz AMD X2
equivalent, and overclocks well with good mobo. I have P5K-V and running
at 3.6Ghz with a Cooler master Aquagate S1, high 20Cs low load, low 50Cs
full load. Very few apps can use 100% of this CPU.
Only downside is 45nm C2Ds coming real soon.
oh yes, it's fast [Posted on 2007-10-19]
Just built a pretty high-end rig powered by the E6850 and it has met all of my expectations. It's very fast and I have had no problems whatsoever.
System Specs: Asus P5K3 Deluxe Motherboard, Intel E6850 Processor, 2GB Corsair DDR3 RAM, Thermaltake 1200watt PSU, HIS Radeon HD2900XT 1GB Video Card, Soundblaster X-Fi Elite Sound, Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit, Liquid Cooling.
For Asus Mobo users: You will probably get a uCode error when you boot this processor up for the first time. Just flash the BIOS and the error will go away.
3 times as fast as P4 2.8 HT [Posted on 2008-01-23]
Scripts run three times as fast compared to my old P4 2.8Ghz HT, but as far as everyday performance difference it has been a little disappointing. Windows still takes over 30 seconds to start up, and Adobe InDesign takes about 30 seconds to start compared to about 40 seconds with my old P4. I was expecting a little better.
