I am trying to get another couple of years out of my old and lightly used Dell Optiplex 745. It has gone through several software OS upgrades and is now on Windows 10 64-bit. It is strictly a business machine for word processing, spreadsheets, scanning, and minimal web surfing. The OS costs more to replace than the machine itself. The quad-core processor is plenty for my modest needs and handles Windows 10 64-bit well. As the Dell was designed to use the older Core-D dual core processors, I didn't have to worry about the power supply or heat load on the cooling fan as the Q6700 draws less power than the old Core-D units did.

Installed in a Dell OptiPlex 745. Good performance gains over the existing dual core @ 2.13GHZ. Would have purchased a faster CPU if the system could have handled it... Read more

Arrived in no time at all. Fast super fast should have upgraded a long time ago. The free bag of extras: heat sink compound, static wrist strap etc...very thoughtful. That little package speaks volumes of the seller...thank you so much! Read more

I picked up an off-lease computer that had an Intel Core 2 Duo processor that I wanted to upgrade to act as a home server, and found this smoking deal on an upgrade. One thing I forgot about Intel is they don't use pins that you push into the board, so don't think it's broken at first glance when there are no short pins on the bottom. Ha! Install was cake, they even shipped it w/ a fan & heat sink. Installation was a breeze (see note above about pins, it's worth noting that the motherboard should be laying flat, not vertical as it's much harder to keep it in place) and the CPU was in perfect working order. The motherboard saw the change and my VMWare ESXi install didn't require any software updates to accommodate the extra cores. I loved the new speed the system has & the fact I can run 5 VMs at once with no issue on a non-commercial server. Read more
