Upgrade from Intel E2180 Dual Core to Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 is it worth it? Yes!
It's difficult to review technology that's obsolete however, I'll give it a go.
The computer that this processor went into was purchased as a low spec, refurbished machine on ebay which was to be used for a small business for Word, Excel, email and the occasional websurfing. The processor was replacing an Intel E2180 Dual Core processor which is also obsolete. At the same time as the processor upgrade the RAM was upgraded from 3GB to 8GB.
The processor was easy to upgrade just by using CPUID which identifies your mainboard, RAM, Graphics card and processor. You can then look this up and find the specifications for it. These tell you the maximum RAM that can be installed and the fastest processor that can be installed.
The processor was easy to come out and the new one was extremely easy to install.
The comparison figures can be seen in the image below although you'll need to note that the reference processor is slightly faster than the one that it was replacing but that is the nearest that CPU-Z has in it's reference library to the one that was replaced. It looks as though I have near enough doubled the processing power of my PC for a matter of a few pounds.
In fact, it was so good for the price, I have now done the same to all the machines in the office.
With the upgraded RAM and processor, this machine is now running AutoCAD without any issues as well as Microsoft office 365.
To sum up then, you're not going to be the best gamer there is with this processor, but if you want to squeeze another couple of years out of your machine, and you're not too afraid of 'having a go' then this is the way to do it. It will surf the net, write and send emails and work out your finances on Excel with consummate ease.
If you've bought one of these computers from eBay it's well worth going through the above process.
