What Buyers Say

Intel Pentium E6500 2-core LGA 775

88 out of 100 medium confidence 12 reviews

This budget dual-core processor is praised for its value, reliability, and solid performance in everyday multitasking. Users highlight its Virtualization Technology (VT) support, which works well for Windows 7 XP Mode, and its overclocking headroom. The main criticisms are the relatively high price for an older chip and the cost of DDR2 memory, not the CPU itself.

Pros
  • Excellent value for budget builds
  • Virtualization Technology (VT) support
  • Good multitasking performance
  • Overclocking headroom
  • Reliable and stable
Cons
  • Price slightly high for older chip
  • DDR2 memory cost is prohibitive
  • E7200 lacks VT support (comparison)
