Well, my hopes were given up at the time of installation. The core2 extreme qx6800 would have been a nice improvement gain from my core2 duo e6700. However, if I would have known it was a core2 extreme x6800, I would have not bid on it, as it is a down grade from the core2 duo e6700. I do not recommend the x6800 unless you are wanting to change from a Pentium.

I bought the QX6800 as an upgrade for my ageing Dell Dimension E520 computer. Given its age, there was no point buying a new componenent, so buying second hand on eBay made perfect sense. This CPU is the fastest that the E520 can take and in its day was the most powerful Intel CPU available. It has given the E520 a new lease of life and transformed it into a computer that will last several more years yet and still cope with the demands of modern applications. On eBay the Buy It Now price plus postage from the USA was about a quarter of the list price when new and easily comparable with new top end processors that wouldn't fit the E520 anyway. Overall, this has been a very satisfactory purchase.
Work great. Easy to install. Fast shipper!!

I have nothing to complain. It's a really good processor, really good OC, but it get's a LOT hot and spends a lot of energy. But that's it. All the rest is really good
Very good product, use for games, system responds much faster, got it at a amazing price.
