What Buyers Say
Intel Pentium E6500 2-core LGA775
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

- Virtualization Technology (VT) support
- Good multitasking performance
- Overclocking headroom
- Reliable and stable
Cons
- Price slightly high for older chip
- DDR2 memory cost is prohibitive
