A great processor if you get it at a good price.
This is a solid processor for any socket 775 mainboard. I ran it in my primary PC for years on WinXP and then on Win7 until I decided to upgrade to a 64bit Win7 system and wanted more then the 4GB (3.5GB really) that 32bit OS allows. That was when I upgraded to a new mobo, processor, RAM, video card, the works. It really got the job done so I can personally recommend it for WinXP and Win7 casual users even today. It is not what you want for new PC gaming but if you do the usually surfing, check Email, and such it does a great job with todays common software.
