Intel Pentium 4 - 2.6 GHz Processor

Strengths: 800MHz front side bus & Hyperthreading! 3 year warranty, large fan and heat sink included with the retail version

Weakness: price is substantially more than AMD

The Intel 2.6c GHz processor provides a reasonably cost efficient way of building a speed demon of a system. The installion of 1 GB of DDR400 ram with this processor combined with a decent motherboard (Asus P4P800 Deluxe) gives me more speed than I thought possible at the price. Installation was a cinch and initial boot up was without a flaw. I haven't tried overclocking yet, and may not, since...

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.6 GHz Processor

Strengths: This processor is 800 Mhz FSB, which means your MB system clock runs at 200 mhz smoking AMD. The Hyperthreading feature and system bus smokes AMD hands down. You definitely get what you pay for here.

Weakness: Not as cheap as AMD.

This CPU is not as cheap as AMD, but then again, AMD has nothing to offer that even comes close to the power and performance of the 800MHZ FSB P4's. You'd be best to get a decent MB for this, such as the Asus P4P800 Deluxe or better. When combined with SATA, Dual Channel DDR, and a 200mhz supporting MB, this CPU smokes.

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.6 GHz Processor

Strengths: Great performance at good price point.

Weakness: none

As many others have stated, this is the processor to get if you want to have an intel system that offers the maximum power for the price. Installation on Albatron 800 Anniversary Ed. board went smoothly and all is performing nicely without a hitch. I'm sure overclocking would not be a problem, but no need to do so at this point, it flies as is. Installation is a breeze, it runs smooth and...

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.6 GHz Processor

Strengths: 800Mhz FSB, Hyperthreading, Speed, 3yr Warranty, Great Price

Weakness: None

I've had this processor in my server computer for a little over a month now and its amazingly fast. There is highly noticable difference in the speed and multitasking ability of this processor over former pentium 4 processors. I can perform many different tasks at the same time without bogging down the computer. Best yet, this processor is the same price as the 2.4C. Its definitely the best...

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.6 GHz Processor

Strengths: Great price compared to next size processor.

Weakness: packaging

I upgraded from a Pentium 3 system and what a difference. With the 800 mhz frontside bus to hyperthreading and DDR ram my new system cooks. With pricing for the 2.4 the same and the 2.8 fifty dollars more it's a no brainer.

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.6 GHz Processor

Strengths: 800 front side bus, hyperthreading, price

Weakness: none so far

Pricing on this product is great. With the right amount of ram and a good motherboard this thing flys. I build custom computers and recommend this chip for all my customers. I have received no complaints from anyone about performance.

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.6 GHz Processor

Strengths: Great value for the price; Very Solid and predictable; HT works great;

Weakness: No Major Weaknesses

I'm very happy with this CPU; My mobo (ABit IS7-E) seems to undervolt this CPU a bit, but it still seems to run fine at 2.6GHz; Not quite as sprite as others seem to have found.

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.6 GHz Processor

Strengths: 800 mhz front side bus. Hyperthreading.

Weakness: none

The 2.6 gig processor is a stellar performer. When coupled with a motherboard chipset that takes advantage of the 800 mhz front side bus speed you will see lightning fast program loading and execution. I see a significant difference in the performance of this chip when compared to a P4 with a 400mhz or 533mhz bus.

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.6 GHz Processor

Strengths: Best bang for the buck, unmatched design by AMD, Hyper-Threading, 800MHZ FSB

Weakness: Higher cost than Celeron/AMD

As of Nov2003, this CPU sits at the sweet point of the priceXspeed chart. 2.4Mhz is the same price, 2.8Mhz is way higher. Fan and 3yrs included on this non-OEM product.

Intel Pentium 4 - 2.6 GHz Processor

Strengths: Fairly inexpensive, Overclocks well, 800MHz FSB

Weakness: None

I purchased the 2.6 because it was a great buy for the buck and a good processor. The 2.6C overclocks well and runs flawlessly. HT works well. Great CPU!
