Advantages: Price, Overclocking

Disadvantages: None

Recently I felt badly that I should upgrade my PC from P4, that I have got , to Core 2 Duo. So, I did it. I planned to build the PC myself. I researched about the necessary parts and finally made a list of components to buy.
I ordered all the components in which Intel Core 2 duo E4400 was also included. I preferred E4400 for a number of reasons, which I will discuss below.

Firstly, this processor is very good on the pocket. As I have limited amount of budget, I preferred it over the other slightly expensive core 2 duos.

Secondly, this processor is a great overclocker. As my plan was to overclock the processor, so, I choose this little overclocking beauty.
This processor, due to 800 FSB and clock multiplyer of 10, is very overclocking friendly. With a decent motherboard one can easily achieve 3 GHz mark, with slight voltage adjustment, on air. Apllying water cooling can get this processor even more. This processor is queit stable at 2.8 GHz, the limit at which I am running it.

Thirdly, this processor is not very much power hungry and do not get very hot.

Fourtly, this processor has a warranty of three years, which is nice to have, although the warranty seldomly comes in to play.

I loved this little beauty from Intel and will strongly recommend it for potential buyers.

Summary: Good little toy to play with and experiment your overclocking abilities.
