This has been a great processor for me for the last 3 year or so, the downside was the MB had only AGP slot for video and it will not play the new games. Now I'm ready to upgrade to a quad core 4gb of ram 10600mghz a PCIe x16 video card, it'll rock

Got this one in a bare bones deal, it's a super combo, beats my 2.2gig athlon XP by bounds I kept the cheep 333 ram from my old machine and it still beats the heck out of the athlon. Din't think I'd ever find a better processor, especially a celeron after all but this one is tops.

Great price. Good processor. Rock solid in my machine. Bumped it up to 3.4 without a problem. Jammed the machine full of ram and ...wow. Almost as good as my HT prescott. ...but cooler. My recomendation: at this price; buy it.

Great price performance ratio. I upgraded from a 750 mhz AMD chip and stocked up on RAM, and this chip has been great. I put it in a DVR system I built, and it's able to encode high quality mpeg4 in real time at about 40% CPU. I've gotten such great results from the processor, I'm thinking about adding another tuner.
Heat Sinks - Many Shapes & Sizes!
A heat sink (or heatsink) is an object that absorbs and dissipates heat from
another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant). Heat sinks
are used in a wide range of applications wherever efficient heat dissipation
is required; including for CPUs, Memory, Video Cards, and more.
Heat Sink Shapes Change!
Many products come with a Heat Sink, and some with a combination Heat Sink
and Fan. Keep in mind though, that manufacturers are constantly
improving the design of their cooling components, thus the shape and design
of the heat sink or heat sink & fan can change on any product at any time.
PLEASE NOTE:
Cooling Components Can Change At Any Time, And Do Not
Affect The Performance Or Specifications Of The Product.
How Do Heat Sinks Work?
Heat sinks function by transferring high temperature thermal energy (heat)
from one object (such as a CPU chip) to a second object (such as the Heat
Sink), which has a lower temperature, with a much greater heat capacity.
This rapid transfer of heat quickly balances the temperature of both
devices, lowering the temperature of the first. This is what makes a
heat sink a cooling device. Since room temperature is usually cooler than
the hot device, the Heat Sink helps cool the device, lowering its temp to
closer to room temperature.
The most common design of a heat sink is a metal device with many fins or
vanes. The high thermal conductivity of the metal combined with the large
surface area of the fins does the work to rapidly transfer heat to the
surrounding, cooler, air. This cools the heat sink and whatever it is in
contact with. Some Heat Sinks use the metal alone for cooling, some
use fluids (just like you car radiator) and a thermal interface material
(such as thermal gel) to ensure maximum heat transfer to the heat sink.
Adding a fan dramatically improves air flow, and improves the heat transfer
even more.
Remember The
Thermal Paste!
Remember that when you are adding a Heat Sink, you MUST USE
thermally conductive Gel or Paste, to form a good thermal contact between
the Heat Sink and the Device. Failing to use this will result in
reduced cooling, and possible failure and damage to the device!
