• INTEL CORP. BX80601W3550 XEON W3550, 4C, 3.06GHZ

Well I cant say much that hasn't already been said....lol..... I can say that this is one fast CPU and for the cost It should be. The overclocking ability is very good and has very easy to use BIOS setting to accomplish overclocking for the new and technical advanced people. I takes on anything I throw at it without even a strain. I am usually a AMD man 100% when building a gaming unit. This was the first Intel I have purchased for a gaming build since 1993 & I don't regret the purchase. I remember when I was looking at this CPU and reading everyone else's comments about how Sandy was coming out soon and to hold out. I don't regret and I don't think Sandy lived up to i the hype in what I have seen from it. I have experienced both and I will stick with the I7

Other Thoughts: Great Processor for the money.
