The Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz processor
The Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz processor is a great processor for gaming and 3d imaging. With dual Wolfdale 3.0GHz cores and 6MB of Cache, it can handle almost any game seamlessly, even games with high requirements, such as Crysis or Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Although a bit pricey at $190, it really is worth it. It should work on most computers, as it has a LGA 775 socket. Most customer reviews of this product are very high, 89% of the 2625 buyers on Newegg gave it 5 stars. It also runs at a very low temperature; the highest it has ever gotten to, while running programs like Maya 2010, is 39 Degrees Celsius (102 degrees Fahrenheit). To keep it at such low temperatures, i am using a $20 ASUS processor fan. If you are really into gaming, this is the processor for you. If you simply browse the internet or listen to music, I recommend a less expensive processor.
