Heres that review
Pros: I don't want to say it but I ran the tests. Here are the conclusions. This processor will not keep up with 3.0 P4 Single Core.
See scores below.
Cons: I decided to set out and run a few benchmarks on the P4/AMD 64 systems, so I started with good hardware. You can tell the games ran better on the AMD system but mostly due to the video card being 5x better in the AMD system over the Intel system.
Dual core system both cores were contributing however it could not keep up with the Intel on the Adobe test.
For a 1k dollar upgrade this system is not worth it, I'm looking into Pentium D's now, and will be reviewing those as well. Look for it in the Pentium D Section. In the 3.0 Range.
