The reason why I decide to buy this is because it is the fastest CPU compatible for chipset PM965. My Laptop, a Gateway P-6831FX, came with an intel core 2 duo T5450, which is very slow and it is the only downfall for some of my high quality games. now that i have the X9000, the Frames Per Second for my games should increase about 10-20 FPS, which will make a huge difference. crysis runs around 10-20 FPS with my old CPU, now it runs at 30-45 FPS.. a huge difference. call of duty 4 ran roughly 48-55 FPS at everything maxed, now it runs 60 FPS smooth(Same setting).
Fastest Notebook CPU on the market for this generation of PC. Even though it is very power efficient and temp efficient, it can run at 2.8 GHz, a 60% improvement over the T5850 that runs at 1.8 GHz. With this X9000 my HP laptop with 478 socket wuns like lightning. Overall performance improvement is outstanding. Before it took 15 seconds to open an internet explorer browser, now it takes 2 seconds. Overall, performance of CPU is 60% faster, without taking any more power or running hotter. The X9000 runs so cool with the factory heatsink, you can touch the edge without burning your fingers and the temp of the CPU is only 110 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the CPU you want for your GM965 chipset (Most 2009 or newer motherboards with 478 Intel socket)

This is the most powerfull CPU for my laptop Dell XPS M1730. This CPU has an unlocked multiplier. So, in the BIOS of my laptop I have an option for regulating CPU's frequency from default 2.8GHz to maximum 3.4GHz with a step of 200 MHz. I was set a CPU's frequency to 3.2GHz, system was stable, but cpu fan become more noisly.

Great CPU upgrade for my Dell Latitude D630 and D830 with 8GB RAM and SSD drive. A 2007 laptop/notebook that 13 years later can still perform with the rest. Runs as good as modern quad core processors even though its a dual core thanks to its 2.8GHZ speed. Breath new life to an old school reliable Latitude Series notebook. This was a very fun modification upgrade project.

I had an older Acer Travelmate laptop and wanted to improve its speed, this processor definitely did it, and I see no overheating issues
