Great product, a pleasure to use.

Thermal Monitoring Technologies, an Intel proprietary technology, drives the Pentium Dual-Core E6xx processors. A thermal sensor can be put in the CPU to keep tabs on its internal temperature. And when the indications get too high, the built-in protection will lower the supply voltage and the clock speed of the processor so that the CPU may cool down without disrupting your work.
Technology for Intel® Virtualization (VT-x). Technology traditionally reserved for high-end processors (the Core 2 Duo E8200 and later) has made its way down to the Pentium Dual-Core E6X00 series. Hardware virtualization, such as that provided by VT-x (Virtualization Technology), allows multiple full-fledged operating systems to be run on a single server, computer, regardless of the underlying hardware platform. This allows several virtual machines to coexist on a single host computer.
Remember that the performance of a computer for gaming is largely determined by the combination of the processor and the video card. I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend the Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 as the best video card available for the Pentium Dual-Core E6xx processor at this time.

Pros

Heredity The Pentium Dual-Core E6300 and E6700 processor families all share 2 MB of shared L2 cache memory. From what I've seen in real life, though, that's the bare minimum that's sufficient for performing any and all common computer chores. And for an extra $30-$40, you can obtain a Core 2 Duo E7200 or E7400 CPU with a 3 MB cache and the same performance. … Why? We broaden our search. There is no support for the supplementary SSE4.1 instruction, as there is in the Pentium Dual-Core E5200 - E5400 series of processors. Since this instruction provides a computer architecture for generating 32 and 64 bit applications, it's hard to label this a significant drawback of the Pentium Dual-Core E6xx. This is an extremely niche field at the present; if this feature doesn't impact your day-to-day work (in software development), you probably didn't even know it existed. As you know, then, the fact that Pentium Dual-Core E6xx does not support SSE4.1 is of little consequence to the average user. Thirdly, the system bus now operates at a higher frequency. CPU Pentium Dual-Core processors now run at a system bus frequency of 1066 MHz, the same as Core 2 Duo E7200 - E7600. This technological enhancement is great news for those who enjoy the thrill of high acceleration. This makes it possible to get decent results using motherboards that don't have particularly fast system bus frequencies, saving time and money.

Cons

The sole drawback is that the stock cooling solution for the processor is not optimized for overclocking. It was switched out to ensure the trial was thorough. Intel Pentium Dual-Core E6500 CPU Overclocking. At about 4.0 GHz, the processor could no longer be run reliably without an increase in voltage. The processor's clock speed was boosted to 4.4 GHz by increasing the voltage. Price is 70 percent above par.
