THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING -
GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.
Detailed Features
Features
Quad-Core Processor
Provides four complete execution cores in a single Processor with 8 MB of
L2 cache and a 1066 MHz Front Side Bus. Four dedicated, physical threads help
operating systems and applications deliver additional performance, so end
users can experience better multi-tasking and multi-threaded performance across
many types of applications and work loads.
Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution
Improves execution speed and efficiency, delivering more instructions per clock
cycle. Each of the four cores can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously.
Intel® Advanced Smart Cache
Shared Level 2 cache across each pair of cores that can be dynamically allocated
to each processor core, within the pair, based on workload. This efficient
implementation increases the probability that each core within the pair can
access data from fast L2 cache, signifcantly reducing latency to frequently
used data and improving performance.
Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost
Accelerates the execution of Streaming SIMD Extension (SSE) instructions to
significantly improve the performance on a broad range of applications, including
video, audio, image and photo processing, multimedia, encryption, financial,
engineering and scientific applications. The 128-bit SSE instructions are now
issued at a throughput rate of one per clock cycle effectively doubling their
speed of execution on a per clock basis over previous generation processors.
Intel® Virtualization Technology
Allows one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms.
Intel® VT improves manageability, limiting downtime and maintaining worker
productivity by isolating computing activities into separate partitions.
Digital Thermal Sensor (DTS)
Provides for more ef.cient processor and platform thermal control improving
system acoustics. The DTS continuously measures the temperature at each processing
core. The ability to continuously measure and detect variations in processor
temperature enables system fans to spin only as fast as needed to cool the
system. The combination of these technologies can result in significantly lower
noise emissions from the PC.
Intel Designed Thermal Solution for Boxed Processors
Includes a 4-pin connector for fan speed control to help minimize the acoustic
noise levels generated from running the fan at higher speeds for thermal performance.
Fan speed control technology is based on actual CPU temperature and power
usage.

From my reference point running a dell E8400 with 4 GB Ram and then running a Q9450 also with 4 GB of RAM, it's like going from non turbo and then to full throttle turbo mode. No comparison! I opted to get the Q6700 for my system after seeing the difference. I am able to run virtual PCs i.e., xp with 2 GB of RAM and do other tasks without any slow down including video rendering. If you do digital video editing, this will deffinately cut your video rednering and conversion times. very happy with purchase.

This CPU is awesome! It is very stable and very easy to overclock. Great price! I would recommend CPU to anyone.
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!
PLEASE
NOTE: We
only sell NEW processors purchased direct from the manufacturer or from factory
authorized distributors. We will never sell a "pull" (which is a CPU
removed from an assembled system at some manufacturing plant) or a used processor
as other online vendors do without telling you. We are the largest CPU reseller
in the Country, we offer the lowest prices in the industry on processors because
we deal in such great volume. If you are comparing our price against another
site with a much lower price, you are probably buying returns or pulls. Only
accept genuine quality, buy from Us.
VERY
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING OUR RETURN POLICY ON CPU'S:
Please note that all processors may be returned only for defective exchange.
You must purchase a compatible heatsink and fan on the same order as the processor
in order to preserve your warranty or exchange privilege. We are not able to
accept returns for refunds on processors under any circumstances. All processors
will be inspected and tested upon return and any damage caused by poor packaging,
overclocking, or other tampering with the processor will be cause for the return
to be refused, and exchange denied.
