Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad-Core Processor, 2.40 GHz, 8M L2 Cache, LGA 775
The Intel Core 2 Quad processor is the latest in cutting edge processor technology for the desktop PC. Based on the Intel Core micro-architecture, the Intel Core 2 Quad processor delivers four complete execution cores within a single processor, delivering unprecedented performance and responsiveness. More instructions can be carried out per clock cycle, shorter and wider pipelines execute commands more quickly, and improved bus lanes move data throughout the system faster. Four dedicated, physical threads help operating systems and applications deliver additional performance, so you can experience better multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance across many types of applications and workload. A 4-pin connector is included for fan speed control to help minimize the acoustic noise levels generated from running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Quad-Core Processor, 2.40 GHz, 8M L2 Cache, LGA 775 Reviews
I'm looking forward to when we'll have more applications using the full power of a quad-core. Great product, easy to install, awesome performance, though I haven't given it much of a challenge yet. No point now; 4 core processors at 2.4GHz is more than enough at the moment. I was lucky to get the one with the new stepping, so maybe I'll do some overclocking when the time is right.
this beats my old 2.8 p4ht. well worth it. this processor is amazing for its price.
With just the stock heat sink and a decent thermal paste, I was able to get this up to a stable 2.82 Ghz from the stock 2.4, with reasonable heat levels (during stress testing it never exceeded 59C), and didn't even have to mess with voltages to get it there. With water cooling you can easily get this well over 3 Ghz. I was pleased when I received the GO stepping of this (newer edition) as it OC's much better than the earlier edition. If you've got a decent mobo, you can OC this to (and past) the performance of the more expensive "Extreme" processors, for about half the price. Bottom line: get this processor and you will not be sorry. After some shipping issues (USPS idiocy, not Amazon's), I finally got this processor and fired it up. Stock it's really nice, but OC it a little and it FLIES. Stable as hell, and the performance gains are incredible.
It is a very stable and tough processor. I have run it pretty hot with no problems yet. I have not used this processor for long but so far I am very pleased with it. Does all that I expected.
It is much faster than my 3.6 Ghz Pentium 4 cpu that I replaced it with. This processor works flawlessly and runs cool even in a room that is in the mid 80s. My girl friend has almost the same setup in the same case with the same cpu and it runs very cool too. I am running it on a Ga-x48-DQ6 Gigabyte motherboard with 4 Gig of Gskill memory in a VX4000 Thermaltake case with a Sapphire HD 3870 graphics card. The case has a large fan in the front and the rear and a mid size fan on the side and is a very cool running case.
