Intel quad core CPU vs. dual core processor
In comparison to the core two duo that is installed on Dell desktops to this CPU is awesum. Extremely fast and reliable. The computer went from 6.9 & 6.9 on the processor speed to 7.4 7.4. Graphics went from 3.1 to 3.8.
The easy installation of the 2.84 GHz has boosted the performance and graphics on a mediocre Dell XPS 420 computer to an over drive mode that is fast and reliable on any Dell XPS 420 computer.Read full review

CPU can't boot most of the time
I was happy when I got my CPU in the mail. I've wanted to upgrade my secondary machine for quite a while.
It currently has a dual core CPU and since I'm using it as a server I wanted to upgrade to a quad core. So I rolled the dice and bought one on ebay. The Intel Core 2 Quad Q9500 I got can't boot the operating system half the time. I've tried everything. I have two motherboards of the same type. Tried them both. I made sure that the bios is fully up to date. I replaced the battery on the motherboards. I tested the memory and tried several different operating systems on different SSD's. Simply put the problem is the CPU. It's not reliable. As soon as I plopped my old CPU in the system was stable and fine. Alas, I was sold a dud.Read full review

3.4GHz on any board capable of a 400MHz FSB.
Guaranteed to hit 3.4GHz on default voltage at 400MHz FSB. Temperatures never go above 51º C with an Arctic Freezer 7 heatpipe cooler.
Pretty good match with a GTX 650ti boost for gaming at 720p high settings or 1080p mid/high.Read full review

Works Perfectly
The CPU arrived earlier than expected and everything feels smoother now, sorry but the other buyers don't know what they're talking about.

Satisfied
This 4-cores CPU replaced my old 2-cores CPU. Althoigh it was really cheap upgrade, PC performance improved not only in apllications, but also in newer games, which surprised me.
