About this product

Product Information

Ramp up your computer's performance with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 "Conroe" dual-core processor BX80557E6700. The E6700 CPU runs at a clock speed of 2.66 GHz, which is more than adequate for daily tasks like web browsing, emailing, or composing documents. Need to do more than one task at the same time? The E6700 microprocessor is well-suited to multitasking since its two cores can divide the work to keep speeds up and reduce lag time. While you're running a virus scan, playing music, or downloading files in the background, the second core will automatically pick up the slack, so you can dramatically increase the productivity of your computer system. If you need a little more power, it also has limited overclocking abilities.The Core 2 Duo family has been designed from the ground up for desktop computers. The E6700 contains a 1066 MHz full-speed bus (FSB) architecture, which means that the processor can achieve swifter speeds than ever before. Moreover, the cache system has been specifically optimized for a dual-core setup. Intel doubled the amount of L2 cache to 4MB. That means the device can store even more data on the CPU compared with earlier processors in the same family. And thanks to the Intel Wide Dynamic Execution technology, the system actually delivers more instructions per clock cycle, so you're getting a good combination of power and performance.The Core 2 Duo E6700 microprocessor was designed to use power smartly and efficiently. When the CPU is idle, it will enter a conservation mode to save energy without draining too much power from the system. Intel's SpeedStep technology allows the computer to dynamically adjust the processor's voltage and frequency to meet the needs of the software. A variety of other innovative technologies, such as Intel Smart Memory Access, enable the microprocessor to deftly balance the workload by optimizing the use of the available bandwidth, while Intel Digital Media Boost gives you an extra bump in quality when you're enjoying movies, photos, or other media. With Intel's Thermal Monitoring Technologies, the device will constantly monitor the CPU's temperature and keep it stable, even when it's running under a heavy workload. With Intel's virtualization technology, the processor lets you create multiple virtual platforms from a single hardware. Intel has also designed the chip to protect your computer against certain kinds of viruses and malicious attacks.The Core 2 Duo E6700 microprocessor is ideal for budget-conscious consumers who want to add more speed and power to their aging hardware without sacrificing performance and efficiency. The chip was designed to be small, quiet, and energy efficient, even under extreme conditions. It has a Thermal Design Point (TDP) of 65w. This is the average power that the microprocessor dissipates when it's operating at its base frequency. With an LGA775 socket, the E6700 is also compatible with a wide array of motherboard types. And although the Intel Core 2 Duo family of 65nm dual-core processors was designed to work with a 64-bit instruction set, they're also compatible with IA-32 software.

  • Processor Upgrade for HP a1767c Media Center

    This processor is pretty old as of the time of this review (2/5/20), but according to the motherboard spec for the HP Pavilion a1767c Media Center, is the highest performance processor available. It was used to replace the Intel Core2 Duo E4300 that was originally installed. This upgrade increases clock speed from 1.8GHz to 2.66GHz, L2 cache from 2MB to 4MB, and bus speed from 800MHz to 1066MHz. I didn't do any formal testing, but the "seat of the pants" feel is an overall improvement in performance, for me, most noticeable in video streaming.

  • Fast Older Duo

    This was the best CPU for the HP Compaq DC5700 Microtower. Upgraded from a E6400 2.13 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache. The additional 500 - 600 GHz clock speeds make a huge difference and with the 4 MB L2 cache, Windows 10 runs stable with 8 GB and a dedicated PCI (NOT EXPRESS) GPU. Video streaming over Plex, Utube or Netflix runs smooth.

  • realiable chip

    I upgraded my original chip to this one, the highest possible to fit my old machine. The pc booted without a problem and the CPU gage registers less over load, comparing to my old 2.13 GB CPU.

  • Upgrade your PC

    If you still have a Pentium chip in your PC or a lower end duo core (or dual core) CPU then an upgrade is long overdue and you likely already know this. This seller provides an affordable approach to upgrading that won't take a huge byte out of your wallet. I put this in my daughter's old Dell PC and she is delighted with the difference in speed and performance. She can play most of her computer games now and research the net with ease at the same time. In other words multi-tasking is possible once again! I don't recommend using the thermal compound that comes with it unless this is all you have on hand. Still it is very thoughtful of the seller to include a package of compound with the chip and it will work in a pinch. Why dole out hundreds of dollars for an upgrade when a chip like this and an SSD can give your PC performance that matches that of a brand new computer?

  • Easy CPU Upgrade

    Not the latest processor, but a known upgrade to an old desktop. Easy installation and useful improvement. Widely available to max out some early socket 775 applications. Inexpensive.

  • Cheap upgrade

    Got a Vista computer system for $10 at a yard sale. Tower, 22' monitor, mouse, keyboard and cables. After installing this CPU it is running Windows 10 64 bit. W10 would not even install with the stock CPU. The computer runs faster and cooler too. A worthwhile upgrade for a old computer. Now I got a computer for the shop.

  • Everything as expected

    I had E6300 CPU on DG965RY board. So decide to upgrade it to the fastest available E6700 Everything went smooth, no problem. I didn't make any BIOS changes or so. Windows recognize CPU change and update drivers itself . Looks like it running faster now by 30-40%..Thermal paste was needed.

  • Works well enough

    Came with some old paste on it. Just cleaned off and installed it into my dell 745 along with some fresh arctic silver paste. Computer booted up fine. Only test I've tried was watching youtube videos on high quality, Result was that videos streamed smoothly unlike with the previous cpu which was a pentium D. Good upgrade for a small price.

  • Great upgrade for old computer

    Great upgrade for old computer. Made a difference over the original processor that was installed. This one was the maximum processor that was available for the socket and chipset that i had.
