Summary: 5 Stars
It's amazing. If you're looking for a great processor that isn't too expensive, you can't go wrong with an E8400. I've had nothing but good experiences with it, and I'm sure you will too.Digital camera Review: Installed this to replace the stock CPU on my Dell Inspiron 530
Summary: 4 Stars
My Dell had been running slow lately, and I wasn't sure whether or not I could upgrade the CPU to anything worthwhile. After looking around some forums I found out that this was the best processor my outdated motherboard could support.
Installation was a pain. The heatsink isn't compatible with my Dell, because it used a different screw system. (I would have assumed this was universal, but I guess not) I ended up having to use my old heatsink (which was a beast) and had to purchase a vial of Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound, 3.5 Grams to replace the thermal grease.
Once installed however, I definitely noticed a HUGE improvement. Of course my old processor, an OG Core Duo 2.2ghz, wasn't really a snail, but opening things like Photoshop or Premiere seemed to be a lot quicker and the menus were more responsive.
Not that this benchmark means anything at all, but my Windows Experience Index also jumped to 6.5, from 5.9. (Most people laugh at the relevance of this benchmark, but I don't have any other software to gauge performance)
Bottom line: if you've got a PC that needs a boost (purchased 2-3 years ago) and is compatible with this processor, give it a go, you might be surprised at how much faster your system can feel.
