Windows7 Processor 7.0

After OC, E6300 performance is improved in all benchmark software.
If need to reach 4G, you need about 1.376V. It’s better than E5200/5300 R0 stepping.
But the voltage is still higher than E5200 M0. Look forward E6300 having better OC to replace E5 series faster.
When OC to 4.2G, Windows7 score E6300 at 7.0

Good one, but I read your review already at Intel latest Core 2 series CPU-Pentium E6300 and Quad Q8400 performance review - XtremeSystems Forums before I opened this

501Mhz reached

Q8400 OC ability is quite good. The FSB can reach 501MHz.
In most multi-core software, Q8400 all gets very high score.
Windows7 full mark is 7.9 and Q8400 gets 7.5.

E6300/Q8400 are different with pervious products. They all support VT-x technology. It will make Windows7 performance be better.
These 2 CPU launched price is only a little bit higher than old products. I think it’s good product transition plan.
Hope Intel will keep providing LGA775 CPU.

Core 2 Duo is Intel long life cycle product. The hi-end segment is i7.
If considering CPU/MB models and price, Core 2 Duo/Core 2 Quad are good choice.
As i5 is still unclear, Core 2 Duo platform still your best shoice.

He is reviewing the product on his own. Does it matter which nationality belongs to? This forum isn't of those 3rd class tech forums where members are not caught for plagiarism

windwithme is one of the Gawds when it comes to reviewing the latest and best in the hardware world. He personally does his reviews and posts them on multiple sites on the web.
