Perfect for Desktop Music Production!!
(5 out of 5) by Technopher N. Answer on Jul 13, 2005 (Dayton, OH USA)I found this processor combined with Intel Motherboard; D955xbk Is the ultimate in processing power. [This machine also had 4 gb ram.]
I produce music on the PC. And by the time additional effects such as echo, reverb etc. are added it can slow down a pc to crawl. Usually addtional processing boards are added to available slots to take up some of the processing slack. But with this CPU (and appropriate MB) NO additional processing boards were needed!!
Testing was done using various audio programs and filters.
Processing was immediate. There were no hesitations, no buffering pauses, no clicks; Just pure sound! Even during preview (preprocessing).
Latency with input devices was cut to down to absolute 0!!

Old extreme still works
(5 out of 5) by C. Chokola on Jun 29, 2009 (Scranton, PA)I had an older computer that I was ready to replace but save money by purchasing this chip. Big boot in speed. I will a few more years out of the system. Word of warning make sure your mother board can handle this chip. It is a pentium 4 processor. I have a Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L mother board.
Excellent Performance
(5 out of 5) by Bernard Clemmons III on May 7, 2009 (Nashville, TN)I purchased this CPU to replace a faulty one in a Dell Computer, I ended up rebuilding the entire system. This CPU is an excellent unit, perfect for a gaming system it is a very good buy for the price.
