I bought the E6750 for one of my projects, to build a PC under £200. The final cost was £190 and the PC can play Crysis at 30 FPS on very high :). When building budget, intel is the way to go! People are often surprised when I say this, but the secondhand market for intel is better than AMD's. You can find loads of intel chips at greatly reduced prices that still work well (such as this) whereas AMD's second hand market is relatively expensive when compared to the firsthand market. The E6750 is a great CPU (even now in 2012) for budget gamers, I promise it won't bottleneck any graphics card and you can pick it up for under £30. On top of all this, the socket used by this is the same used by the intel quadcore series; so there is still room for an upgrade when the quadcores start becoming cheaper.Read full review
perfect for games, software, tested on Winodws XP, with 2 GB Ram, Motherboard Gigabyte:) and 8800 GTS, and all games works perfect:) Regards,

The Core 2 Duo series of Intel's processors are currently among the top performing CPUs on the market and have been for the past year or so. They are the best choice for almost everything from Gaming PC's to Work station computers. The Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 was one of the first CPU's to feature a 1333FSB, this proved useful for gaming PC that would make use of this extra speed in intense gaming. The E6750 is clocked at 2.66Ghz which is one of the faster Core 2 Duo CPU's, if you are wondering why is this better than say a Pentium D at 3.4Ghz then then put it this way a Pentium D is just two Pentium 4 Processors on one Die where as a Core 2 Duo is a true Dual core CPU with two cores would separately, because of the better architecture of the Core 2 Duo the CPU will perform much much better even at lower speeds even a 1.8Ghz Core 2 Duo CPU would be better than a 3Ghz Pentium Processor. Anyway now thats out the way back to the E6750. the E6750 is much more power efficient than any Pentium CPU and it also runs much cooler meaning you will have plenty off room to overclock the processor. I have my E6750 overclocked to 3Ghz and it runs at 25c with an Arctic Cooler 7 heatsink. Their aren't many bad points about the E6750 In fact I can hardly think off any, its a brilliant CPU even at stock Speeds and when overclocked to 3Ghz it can out perform almost any CPU in its class including some Quad cores. SO if you are looking for a stable CPU that will run cool, handle heavy multitasking and max out every game on the market the Core 2 Duo E6750 is the choice for you.Read full review
By cool I don't mean kewl :-S This processor has superb o/clocking capability and runs quite cool. Highly recommended but beware - make sure your Mobo supports 1333 FSB or can asynchronously o/clock the FSB without altering the PCI bus. I note that many pre-built systems currently appearing on eBay are using this CPU but with o/clocked Mobo's which don't support native 1333. Just remember that the system may work fine but if you have existing peripherals you want to put in, they may not tolerate an o/c PCI bus... Dropping this CPU into an LGA775 board with no 1333 will result in the CPU running at a less than optimal speed. It ran in my Asus P5VD2-MX at 2.13GHz (266*8) and the system blue-screened at 280 with DDR2 667. All-in-all, very good value for money and will give some of the lower quads a good run for their money until multi-CPU support in software improves.Read full review
