They are fine for now...now when BD and Ivy Bridge come out then we'll talk.

 

[srsdude]

they're pretty old (core 2 duos and core 2 quads), but many people still use them and they're still fast enough for most modern applications

They still have alot of life left I just picked up a e1200 celeron dual core.

 

[SgtMunky]

I wouldn't say a dual core LGA775 has alot of life in them
A good few quad core chips are still fighting fit though, although mine will be replaced this year I think

I meant to say that Quads have alot of life left.

This.

They are quads, right?

Can't complain if Person A has a Q6600 while Person B is on a E8400.
My Q6600 still packs a punch, no bottleneck

 

[SgtMunky]

Oh fair enough, yes the quads are good but... has anyone used a pentium D with windows 7? OP

I have so did my gf. D:

 

[Mr.Eiht]

I still use my [email protected],7GHz nothing to complain about.
In my fluid simulation and 3D-rendering i could use more power but that would kill the good old overnight-renderer

I don`t think there aren`t many games out there that could bring a [email protected],4+GHz with some nice g-card(s) down. Some guy here posted he`s playing GTA4 with his duo.
(ok he got some wicked temps and uber CPU-useage, but he`s playing...)
And the websurfing-youtuber/office-fanboys don`t even need a duo-core.

I have a c2d E6400 non-overclocked and it's starting to show its age, especially in demanding applications and in games too, even if it's able to run most of the games out now. For office/internet use or watching hd videos it's still perfect and will probably last me years as a second rig.

Reinstall windows..

Using a Q9650 @ 4.2Ghz, can't say that its slowing me down in any way. I play a lot of games and with a GTX570 I'm maxing out almost every game there is. BC2 that requires a lot of cpu, 1920*1080 everything maxed out, and stable 60-100 fps. So i will be holding on to it for another year i think.

 

[liskawc]

see my sig rig and youll see what i run for my games. as far as im concerned SC2, oblivion/morrowind, dragon age 1/2 still run satisfactory for me (but yeah i cant play crysis on as pretty as my friend with a 920)

all in all decent cpus these c2d; old but decent

 

[XAslanX]

Still using my e6600 in my HTPC http://www.overclock.net/system.php?i=42026

 

[wongwarren]

My friend even used Windows 7 with Pentium 4 overclocked to 3.8GHz LOL. Anyways onto the main topic, I'm still using an LGA 775 chip. Good enough for my games. I have a Pentium Dual Core E5200 2.5GHz @ 4212.5MHz, 4GB DDR2-800 @ 896.42, a Palit GeForce 9500GT Super 550/400/1400 @ 633/513/1600 and a 160GB Western Digital Caviar SE.

There are like 3 of these threads right now.

 

[maxextz]

i can throw any game at this and it will eat it up.no upgrade for me for at least 3 years.

 

[james_ant]

My Q6600 is going fine, I plan to run it into the ground before I upgrade.
