Best solution for Core 2 Duo... Period.
Strengths: Incredible speed, amazing multi-tasking, makes Vista fly, great gaming processor, apparently very over-clocking friendly
Weakness: If only we could all afford Core 2 Extremes...
Out of the box this processor is, in one word, flawless. Intel is the crowned champion of processor engineering. After moving from an Athlon64 3000+ with 2GB of PC3200 DDR RAM to this processor with 2GB of PC6400 DDR2 RAM, I'm completely spoiled. Imagine with me, running 2 different programs converting WMA and M4A files into MP3s at the same time with very little performance drop, while ripping...

Overclock champion
Strengths: Most overclockable and stable proc I've ever owned. 3.6ghz w/out a single prob. I could prolly go higher. Idle @ 45
Weakness: None so far. See below
Some say "socket 775 mobos are buggy". I'm using an eVGA NForce 680 SLI and have experienced nothing but ease and stability.

Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40Ghz, Socket LGA775
Strengths: 4MB cache and lightening-fast dual core processor
Weakness: None
This is a very fast processor. It compliments the new ASUS P5B Wi-Fi Deluxe motherboard that I bought for it. No installation problems. I am very happy with it.

Fast & cool
Strengths: Overclockable, fast, low power consumption. Quiet HSF.
Weakness: Not as overclockable as engineering samples shown in tech websites.
I got this because it was the least expensive of the core 2 duos with twice the cache as the E6300 or E6400. I was lucky to find it in stock about a month ago (though it shouldn't be difficult to find now). The reviews I read on Anand tech lead me to believe that I would be able to overclock it to about 3.4GHz; however, the best I was able to do (with a good overclocking M/B) was 3GHz. I suppose...
