Great but aging, go for a 2nd gen i5 if you can but this will revive a 775 system.
A great old CPU, it will bring new life to the socket 775 systems struggling on core two duos.
It is very much in it's twilight years, but will still handle esports titles at 720p and 1080p on low/medium settings.
Socket 1155 intel chips like the i5 2400 are the newer q6600s, so if you're looking for a long lasting system get one of those, but the q6600 will surprise you.Read full review

One of a handful of old stable stars of Intel
Old but stable and one of Intel's stars. PII, P4, E6600 and Q6600 afaik is their top ones so far. The one ordered runs really cool, a similar one purchased from another location ran alot hotter even though it also supposedly was a SLACR stepping model.
I haven't OC'd it yet but will likely do eventually and raise it to either 3 or 3.2 to get that extra which is supposedly easy with these.
It's easy to install as most processors - the amount of possible trouble during installation depends more on the chassi and MB than anything else unless u want to grind down the top to gain a smaller heat and thereby efficiency advantage.Read full review

Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad socket LGA775 CPU
This processor is one of the most cost effective upgrades you can make to an ageing desktop PC. I used mine to upgrade a Dell OptiPlex 745 from a Pentium D 3.0GHz up to this Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz. The Dell manual does not include this CPU in it's list of approved upgrades, but from reading a few online forums it was apparent that with the latest BIOS version 2.6.4 the motherboard accepts this processor and runs it perfectly well. There is also no need to upgrade the existing heat sink and fan arrangement. This improved the windows aero rating for the processor from 4.7 to 7.1 running 64 bit Windows 7. For less than £20 my customer now has a desktop PC which can cope seamlessly with most modern software packages.Read full review

Nice cheap PC upgrade...
Why have Core2Duo when you can have a Quad Core for a tenner? These are also 64 bit...
Great for basic PC use and emulation. I have four PCs I have upgraded! :)
Not upgraded a tv pc due to get hot... Been told they need good air flow.Read full review

Great processor upgrade - excellent value.
Got this for my Dell GX620 to replace its Pentium D820. Upgraded bios to A11 first, then fitted the chip. very considerable improvement in performance, especially when I later changed the ram for higher speed.Read full review
