Not bad.....For 658 for the chip it is no great savings though...

If you look at apps that are extremely multithreaded (IE like 3D CAD rendering)...you can tell this by how they scale with second core....the chip does not do as well as it does in some of the apps tested....

I wish they were able to OC it a bit...

The T2400 may be the better price point...

A little pricey, but I think these are not really meant to be sold as Desktop CPUs, so maybe supply is limited. I can't believe some people bought the T2600 to upgrade their iMac.

Well with any luck I"ll have mine in a week or 2 and will of course overclock it. Since you have a much wider variaty of programs you could test it with I'll let ya borrow it if you want to test it out.

Well, if Conroe gets delayed and AX2 prices don't drop much, I might just get one of these in a month or two.
