BANG FOR YOUR BUCK, RELIABLEStrengths: CHEAP! Overclocks to 2.8ghz - 3.2ghz on air cooling Weakness: Lower Cache than the higher model duos which could be a problem if you do a lot of multimedia heavy editing/encoding. I bought the m0 stepping of this processor. Its a crippled core duo coming with only 512kb cache per core 1mb total, unlike the higher model duos with 2mb cache and up. But non the less paired with an Abit IP35e & Hyper TX2 Cooler I was able to over clock this to 3.0ghz on stock cooling. I only paid $65 shipped for this chip, and to get such performance you would need to spend around $200 or...

Beats all AMD X2 in it’s price range at stock speedStrengths: Highly overclockable, Affordable Weakness: 1mb L2 cache Remember the days of the highly overclockable Northwood core? Well, this chip is now the king of overclockablity. With the right motherboard, memory and power supply, you can obtain 100% overclocking to 3.2ghz on the stock cooler! The performance at 3.2ghz will beat the more expense e6850. If you’re considering a sub $100 AMD X2, forget it. At stock speed, the Intel will beat the AMD in all...

Easy OverclockerStrengths: Low energy consumption, cheap upgrade to Core 2 Duo Weakness: so far so good I have been waiting for upgrading to Core 2 Duo for a long while. I have two ancient machines, one with Celeron 2.7GHz, and the other with Intel Pentium 4 1.6GHz. After upgrading to this CPU, obviously, I've notice a significant improvement. Your mileage may vary though, especially if you were looking for a game rig, then this CPU might not be your best choice. However, if the main usage of your...

Bottom-of-the-line bargainStrengths: Fast, dual-core, low power and runs cool, includes a nice, quiet fan. But most of all: VALUE. Weakness: "Only" 1MB L2 cache, 800Mhz FSB, 1.6 GHz clock speed. The E2140 is Intel's bottom of the line Core 2 Duo chip, and correspondingly comes with only 1MB of L2 cache (compared with 2MB in the 4xxx and 4MB in the 6xxx series) and runs on a FSB of only 800 MHz (compared with 1333MHz in the latest chips). It's also clocked at only 1.6GHz. But the beauty of this chip isn't its raw power; it's that for a mere $70 (August 07), you get a latest-gen dual-core...

Another Fine ProcessorStrengths: Affordable Weakness: None I purchased this processor as part of a general upgrade of my system (from a Pentium 3.0 Ghz). There are no inherent, visible weaknesses as my computer runs smoothly. The best advice that I could give to someone looking to upgrade their system (and their processor) is to not go crazy choosing from, say a 1.6Ghz Core 2 Duo and a 1.8GHz, etc. processor. Being an average -- and not a gamer, etc. --...

C2D E2140Strengths: Price and Performance Weakness: Cache First time overclocker. Clocked to 3.0 on Abit IP-35e on air cooling [zerotherm BTF-80]. May be able to get more yet. Stable for 3 weeks now. Great Bang For The Buck!!!!! 3.0 g for $93.00 WOW. CPU vtt 1.21 CPU Core 1.34 31C no load around 50c w/prime 95 [almost stock voltage too].

Good ProcessorStrengths: Runs Cool, Good Overclocker, Nice Price/Performance ratio Weakness: Heat sink takes a bit of getting used to (installing) This was my first dual-core purchase for a low-end budget machine. If it's your first time installing the heat sink, you may want to search youtube for the instructional video. Even without the heatsink properly attached (when I didn't realize it), my fresh windows installation ran without a hitch! A very durable processor.

Worst of the BestStrengths: Core 2 Duo architecture Weakness: Low frequency and cache This is the lowest end desktop dual core processor based on the Core 2 Duo architecture that Intel makes. As such, it has all of the advanced features like dual-core, shared L2 cache, and 4-issue execution core. Unlike its bigger brothers, the E2140 has to do with only 1.6GHz, 1MB of shared L2 cache, and no vitualization support. However, for most tasks, you will hardly notice the difference....

good processorStrengths: core 2 duo Weakness: cheap It is a good cheap processor for HTPC. It is very fast and can be overclocked. It is not ideal for gamers and video editors. But for average users it is perfect. Great value for money

Intel Pentium E2140 & E2160 review
So what are these new Pentium dual-core processors? Well, in essence they are stripped down Conroe processors featuring a tiny 1MB L2 cache with an 800MHz Front Side Bus (Conroe processors have a 4MB L2 cache and use a 1066/1333MHz FSB). TopAdvertisement

E2140 Dual Core
Strengths: Affordable budget priced Dual Core that can hit performance of much more expensive Core 2 Duo
Weakness: Less than ideal level 2 cache on die
Excellent entry level Intel dual core processor. Even though it's called "Pentium Dual Core", it's the same as the Core 2 Duo processors, just with 1mb cache shared by 2 processors. It is a little light in terms of gaming performance due to L2 cache deficiency, but it can be overclocked to over 3Ghz with capable motherboard and memory. At 3Ghz speed, it'll be a great performer with a low price...
