This processor just arrived from Intel and it is fantastic. Intel recently had a round of price drops on their new line of processor's. At 2.66ghz per core, you can do multiple things without lag. This processor was one of the first to introduce the new 1333 front side bus as well. Highly recommend if you are looking to build your own computer. Stay away from the 6600 and the 6700, they are older models and the new 6*50 models are the one's that you want because the price is cheaper and they have a faster front side bus.

E6750 was the best Intel CPU with terrific price/performance ratio. It outperforms the infamous E6600 and easily outshines Q6600 in gaming area.
With Intel's aggressive marketing plan this year, E6750 is replaced by its own brother E8400.

E8400, code name Wolfdale, is a 45nm Core product. Several tests have already revealed that E8400 performs better, consume less power and is way cooler. (good for overclocking.) I fully understand this review is about E6750 not about promoting E8400. However, when you look at the price, you have to compare them together.

As of today, you can get E6750 retail box for $187 from Amazon. Surprisingly, add two dollars more, you can get a retail boxed E8400 (before tax though.)

What it means is you're no longer paying less money for the best performance if you choose E6750. This might upset E6750 die hard fans but technology is a cruel world. And you definitely don't want to end up paying older technology with the same money you can get a newer one.

One last thing. Many people are wondering E6750 vs. Q6600. Here's how to make your choice.
If you're a gamer, do NOT touch Q6600. You won't see any gain for those dollars you invested. In reality, you might experience performance loss.

If you're doing a lot video/movie editing, you might want go extra miles to acquire Q6600. In this case, you will feel great for the extra $80 you invested.

After a brief stint playing second fiddle to AMD, Intel is back on top with its new line of Core 2 multiple core processors. Not going to say much that hasn't already been stated so this review will be short.

This particular processor is awesome! I selected it at the time over the quad core simply because of power consumption of being 65nm. I run my computer 24/7 and didn't really want to pay the added cost for the Quad. I'll reconsider when desktop versions of the 45nm core come out.

Back to the processor, I highly recommend it. If you want to run it at the stock speed, the processor performs well. If you want to overclock it for more performance, then this thing screams! (Relatively speaking of course)

I have this processor working at 3.4Ghz with the stock cooler, and the temp it's around 45C at full load, if you don't have enough for a E6850, this is the second best choice.

Even if you aren't a gamer it's worth the little extra money to step up from the 6320 to the 6750. I can not believe how fast this processor is. Best money spent on a computer.

this processor is able to handle serious overclocking
from a core clock of 2.66GHz to 3.2Ghz core temps drops 1 degree
from 2.66GHz to 3.8GHz core temp rises 4 degrees
*all temps were under full core load using watercooling*

This is a great processor - but of course that's a relative thing, as new and faster processors are coming out all the time. So, the 5-star rating is really based on bang for the buck. At the time of purchase, this was the fastest Intel Core 2 Duo before a big price jump. Also, these "xx50" series processors have a higher Front Side Bus speed than the "xx00" series processors, so they perform better even if the overall clock speeds are the same. In any case, this processor is highly recommended. I bought it for a gaming PC in which I've also put 2 GB DDR2 800 MHz RAM and a GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB. The machine performs really well.

I built my friend a new computer system using this processor and it works very well. The 1333Mhz bus speed makes this thing scream. I would highly recommend it to any new system builder.

I changed my AMD X2 4200+ platform with this CPU, this processor is fast, really fast! But intel should change box cooler, it's just terrible!
Other thoughts: should have bought OEM version without a cooler.

the product works perfectly, arrived before the estimated date, this processor is great, I resolved very well in applications that run
