Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you look up this processor on Intel's site, you'll see that it doesn't have "Intel HD Graphics".I'm not sure if Amazon reads these reviews, but someone should correct the title, and tech specs of this (and other?) product.

Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 2.40 GHz 3M L2 Cache 800MHz FSB Socket P Mobile Processor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to upgrade the Compaq Presario CQ60-417dx. Yes this is a relatively new(for now), yet budget model. Originally it came with the Celeron 900 (2.2ghz) which was fine, but as I started getting more attached to the laptop I wanted to do more with it. Started working more with video on this thing than I originally planned or wanted. I was able to find and download the manual for disassembling the Presario and with a little elbow grease was able to replace that Celeron. GREATLY improved my video work. The processor went right in. I had to reboot twice. Once to reset the BIOS and the second was warranted by Windows 7RC to install the processor. Since then I've had no bugs or hitches with the new processor. HWMonitor(CPUID) shows idle at 19C and load at 38C. And just in case you're into this...Windows 7 experience rating for the CPU went from 4.3 to 5.9. I giggle because all the original stickers(Intel Celeron Inside and Windows Vista Home Premium) are still on the palm rest and neither of those are on the machine at all any more. I've always built my own PCs but this is my first laptop that I've owned. Thinking about adding an OCZ Vertex SSD.... I like to tinker. Anyways, processor works geat and I would highly recommend for those that are brave enough to take apart their lappys.

Intel Core i3 Processor i3-530 2.93GHz 4MB LGA1156 CPU BX80616I3530 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this in a combo with a Biostar TH55B HD to upgrade a household server running 24/7. Goal was to achieve fastest speed with least energy use and stress on components (longest life). I set all voltages to their lowest in the Biostar's BIOS: CPU -.08V (~1.092 max. in CPU-Z, ~.082 min. EIST), VTT 1.15, PLL 1.8, PCH 1.1, IGD "Spec" i.e. lowest. To my surprise, reached a stable overclock of 3.608 GHz (22 x 164), which has passed every test I've thrown at it and has been running for a week now. (Posted a screen shot of one test above.) Temps are no issue with stock cooler--no surprise there. At idle, my Kill-a-Watt readings for the system with integrated graphics enabled, 1.5V DRAM, Corsair 80+ 400W PS and 1 HD spinning (not including monitor) is an amazing 39W. With 3 HDs spinning and 100% CPU (IntelBurnTest) the highest reading I've seen is 86W. Of course, if you're 3-D gaming with the GPU overclocked under the same circumstances the draw would be greater. But, with four threads (HT) at 3.6 GHz on tap, idling at 39W, this is incredible power per watt for 24/7 running, not to mention per dollar.

Corsair 4GB Dual Channel Corsair DDR3 Memory for Intel Core i5 Processors (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Fairly easy installation. Just open up your computer and pop them into the RAM slots. The covering helps to prevent damage from static shock. When I booted up my computer, the RAM was recognized immediately. I haven't run any tests, so I don't know the exact performance increase. Even though the title says "Core i5" the memory runs fine with my AMD Phenom II X4 965 and ASUS M4A77TD motherboard.

*Note: I ordered this from Amazon and the product arrived five days after the expected delivery date. This was expected, though, since I ordered the product with free shipping and I ordered it right before Christmas eve. Just be wary that the expected delivery date does not reflect delays caused by holiday rushes.
