Intel Pentium E2140 Allendale 1.6GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor
The Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140 /1.6 GHz processor is great dual core processor available at an awesome price.
This processor is easy to over clock with the right mother board, and the stock cooler holds up pretty well. The real value is the over clocking which as rumor had it these chips can hit 3.0 GHz and beyond with some super cooling methods.
The only con to this cheap dual core is the 1MB of cache, but the value of the CPU more than makes up for this.
“Two cores means true multi-tasking and multi-threading. Tasks or threads get their own core, no more sharing one core and set of clock cycles. This lets you turn your system into the ultimate home entertainment center PC. One core can play a DVD on the TV, the second sends audio to the kids in another room with no lags or stutters. All this is made easier with Intel’s Digital Media Boost.”
