Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHz Dual-Core (BX80557E6750) Processor

first off let me say getting any intel product doesn't come cheap. especially higher end products. let's take a look at this model. "Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6750 (4M Cache, 2.66 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB) and lets look at the e6550 model- Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E6550 (4M Cache, 2.33 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB"(intel.com) the only difference is clock speed and the e6750 gains a +1 to its Bus/core ratio. anyone looking to update there old 775 p4,celeron D, or the dual core Celeron D, don't look any further if your on a tight budget. the e6550 sells currently 175 through tigerdirect.com that i know of, but with some luck you can get the e6750 on ebay between 80-90 dollars. plain and simple you save about $80-$100 through ebay. thats 80-100 you can put to other uses...say upgrading the ram or the graphics card or whatever else you can think of. happy bidding ebayers!!!

this processor is really a beast in it's time even though i'm not a overclocker but there is somebody can get this item to 4Ghz on air..sure with intel new item this item price will get lower and after it's EOL this item is still looked for and a lot of people still using LGA 775 as their system because it's still worth the money and performance...

The Intel E6750 is an excellent processor--capable of more speed than the stock cooler will allow it to produce. It is a fine and capable CPU at the stock speed of 2.66 GHz, but is capable reaching higher speeds. I ran mine to 3.2 GHz without trying hard at all. For most computing, more than stock speed is a waste and possibly harmful to your processor. The 6750 in my computer runs about 43 degrees celcius at stock speeds and about 58 to sixty when overclocked. Investment in a good, aftermarket cooler might be good for running this processor, especially if any long-term overclocking is a desire.

I purchased an Intel Core2Duo processor. It took awhile for the item to get to me, about 2 1/2 weeks. To be fair, I live in New England and had a blizzard, so it may have been a weather-related issue. I never actually got to the bottom of it.

Long story short, however, the item arrived and worked beautifully. I really put my computer through hell with all the gaming and graphic art I do, and the speed jump from dual-core to core2duo was AMAZING. No issues with the processor at all.

I bought the Intel E6750 Processor which must have a big deference in processing speed than the celeron processor that i had to use before.
i think that this processor needs a 64 bit operating system instead of the 32 bit xp to face the this big deference (like programs startup), which means more budget.
but in general i can face the difference when i used to work on multi screens and switching between them without getting any problems, and no hang.
In general i recommend this processor to those who doesn't have modern processors.
