Cpus with the best Performance Per Dollar

This CPU pops up in a search for socket M, but is actually a socket P processor....I was trying to find a core 2 duo cpu to upgrade a mac mini.

As stated the only difference is the frequency, the Intel Core I7 950 trots along at a comfortable pace of 3.06GHz thanks to the x23 multiplier and the 133MHz base clock speed.

cpu is working very good and it was a nice price, I hope works for at least 1 more yearThank you.

So, good luck to all buyers and just exercise caution when replacing your CPU, i.e. make sure it is orientated the same as the original (look for the triangle in the corner's position relative to the slot); clean off fan.

As is mine was received non working and the laptop wouldn't even turn on.

Bought it to upgrade the computer I built using a Core2 Duo.

I can't fault AMD, this is somewhat better than a dual-core, but not by much.

With it's 4mb L2 cache, my rig is 6x faster now.
