E7200.?

[Piemuncher]

Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 2.53GHz

Any one got any views on these.? Need a new cpu and on a budget. £80 max. I have seen one for £70 give or take a penny.

Cheers

It's a really nice chip, i can hit 3Ghz on less than stock volts and 3.8ghz with 1.35.

Thanks.

very good value for money

get one, and clock the nuts off it!

be aware that new chips are available soon, but I doubt that anything that is better value will appear.

I've got one, more than happy with it! It's trundling happily around at 3.1-3.2Ghz at the moment, until I have the time away from decorating my house to get the spare HDD rigged with Windows and clock it proper - probably only aiming for 3.5/3.6Ghz at the moment, nothing really needs much more speed that that at the moment (that I use it for)

Not to derail but I was planing to get a E5200 as it will clock better and run cooler than my current chip but will the extra 1MB of cache make much of a difference in gaming if I went with the E7200?
