The T5600 was Intel's best offering in the mainstream mobile segment as this CPU had a pretty high clockspeed (1.83GHz) coupled with the infamous 128-bit FPUs capable of besting all that AMD had to offer in that particular segment. As its older brothers, the T5600 also used a 479-pin socket, which was drop-in compatible with Yonah. Overall, this was and still is an excellent CPU capable of great performance and really low power draw (about 34W in full load).
I needed an up grade of my processor and have an LGA775 socket mother board. I upgraded from a Celeron 336 CPU to this dual core CPU. My system now boots faster and processes photo files much faster. I later upped the memory to 2 gigs that change made the system faster yet. Very good value to increase performance at a low cost less the $80 for both changes.
While the E6300 does not seem to be a great deal, it certainly is. It is very stable. It has all the features but hyperthreading and huge room for playing with overclock settings. It depends a lot on the motherboard maximum FSB and memory speeds.
I will not buy another used CPU. This CPU was DOA (dead on arrival) and would not work. It cam right before the Christmas holidays, and I did not have time to fill out all the RMA forms etc. The Intel dual core processors are great, but I recommend buying new ones!! The old adage "you get what you pay for" is sure true on this one!!
Damn good CPU. If you buy it, you won't be disappointing. Trust me. There is nothing else I need to say. The only reason I am typing this (as in everything after the first paragraph) is because ebay's liberal policy won't let me be short and direct with my review. What else do you need to say? It's a CPU!!! Just crunches 1's and 0's!!!!
