Summary: I like Intel and this cpu does what it is supposed to. It is fast, but for the money not blazing fast compared to a similar AMD cpu at almost one third less cost.

Cons: Heatsink is a bit loud on start up. You also may need to fiddle with the fan power cable on the heat sink. Mine kept hitting the fan so the fan would not run.
