Nov 2019 - Business Computer Pros: Been operating for basically 5years straight for 24hours a day, 7days a week. Cons: Struggles to run Win7 in a prebuilt Dell PC with 4GB of ram. Company software barely functional. Office 360 and Outlook 360 lag. Chrome tabs are a quick way to kill it. Just forget multitasking.

anyone who says it is not overclockable, it IS in fact overclockable. you just need a compatible motherboard. (Asus's P5KPL-AM for example.) 3.37GHz with +150mv runs as stable as stock.

Probably the best value performance CPU you can get back then. It's still used commonly for office PC at this day provided you install SSD first to cover very weak processor performance!
