EXCELLENT!
operating system:
Windows XPDon't listen to the guy who wrote a review before me. I needed this processor as my motherboard doesn't support Prescott or the other popular P4 processors.
I put it in, put in a heatsink I found (since it's OEM, it doesn't come with an Intel fan), plugged it all in and hey presto! It works beautifully, haven't had a chance to overclock it yet.
For a 2.8GHz, this is a real good price, you can't go wrong. Considering this was my first build, I was surprised I didn't mess something up!
Since it's OEM, it comes in a little box about the size of a matchbox in a padded envelope via Recorded Delivery. You can pick up some pretty good CPU fans from Ebuyer too.
However, I'm picky and I think I may buy an official Intel fan from somewhere like eBay! :P
Anyway, hope this has helped!
excellent upgrade
operating system:
Windows XPUsed this to replace celeron 2400 in a Dell; amazing increase in speed. Very good value.
absolutely excellent
recieved the item today and must say I am exceptionally happy. I have overclocked this to 3.06Ghz and running at a temperature of 25.5 degrees, thankyou very much ebuyer,
asc
Excellent processor
operating system:
Windows XPHey,
I bought this processor a while back now from elsewhere. It is fantastic.
Although its a Northwood not a Prescott it runs as good, if not better then my friends 3.0GHz with HT. It has a lower FSB and L2 Cache but they dont really effect anything.
Very good proceswsor runs all my games Excellent (Battlefield 2, Counter-Strike Source and Half-Life 2, with a 6800GT graphics card.)
Buy this processor if you want a cheap fast SKT478 Processor ;)
word of advice
no !..don't buy the official Intel heatsink / fan..its hopeless...if you can get a freezer 4 it will let you up the FSB to 3.1Ghz no worries...
Intel are renowned for awful Prescott / Northwood coolers
hope this helps
PS..it is a great price ffor a good CPU though
( I run the prescot 3.4 Extreme 478..still blows any game apart)
Excellent Value
operating system:
Windows 2000I bought this for an MSI 648 Max MB. Drops straight in and I am using the Intel Heatsink after giving it a clean and a new dollop of thermal compound. Runs at 30C idle speed and and usually around 47C when playing Medal of Honour. Definite performance improvement.
overclocking wow
operating system:
Windows XPas i type and write i have this exact cpu running at 3.61 ghz on stock voltage. got it running with a 6800 ultra scores just under 30,000 on 3d mark 01 thats with the ultra at stock still waiting for new cooler to overclock. dont care what anyone says socket 478 can still compete with the best beats my m8,s dfi 875-t with 3.6ghz mb cache hands down buy it.
Great value cpu
operating system:
Windows XPNoticed that someone here said that they had overclocked their cpu - I have the Northwood 533 2.8Ghz running at 3.4Ghz with the stock (retail) cooler, and it has been like this for nearly 2 years as my gaming machine (with a Radeon X1950 Pro AGP card), so it is heavily used (Call of Duty 4 etc) and runs like a dream. Just about one of the best single core cpu's I have ever had.
It also runs stable at 3.6, but the FSB hike causes my onboard sound to stop working. If I get a sound card, it would run fine at 3.6Ghz...
very bad
this processor is unreliable and have not warrant. i would recoomended don't even try to buy this one.
