Bottom line: The Intel Pentium 2 LGA 1155 Processor BX80637G2030 is a specs-and-price decision rather than a crowd-consensus one in the retro cpus category, priced around $14.99. Check the specification table above against one or two close alternatives — on price and spec fit, not on star ratings.
Go beyond everyday computing with the Intel Pentium dual-core desktop processor. An increasing number of software applications are now designed for dual-core processors enabling the user to be more creative and productive in the home or the office. The need for security and virus protection often means running more than one application at a time and the Pentium dual-core processor has the power to run them simultaneously.
