Very useful for extending the lifespans of aging OEMs or old LGA 775 builds that has a sufficient power supply to handle its 120w power consumption, along with other Xeons, this one being one of the fastest of the bunch, if you can acquire a bios mod for your motherboard, your system can still remain alive for quite a while longer before you can get your hands on something more up to date.
