The Pentium Dual-Core brand was used for mainstream x86-architecture microprocessors from Intel from 2006 to 2009 when it was renamed to Pentium. The processors are based on either the 32-bit Yonah or (with quite different microarchitectures) 64-bit Merom-2M, Allendale, and Wolfdale-3M core, targeted at mobile or desktop computers.In terms of features, price and performance at a given clock frequency, Pentium Dual-Core processors were positioned above Celeron but below Core and Core 2 microprocessors in Intel's product range. The Pentium Dual-Core was also a very popular choice for overclocking, as it can deliver optimal performance (when overclocked) at a low price.

How would this and a GT 640 run?
its a fairly good match believe it or not
Why does the rank always changes??? 5-6-5
I can run Crysis 3 on high settings without any problem.
nice :) add your fps to crysis 3 ratings page to help others too =)
Hey, would I be able to upgrade from this processor? While keeping my current motherboard etc? Like if I wanted to buy an i3 or something.
Sorry but no…
All i3 CPUs come with socket 1155 or 1156. They won't even fit into your socket 775 mobo. Buying a new motherboard is probably your only choice. However, if you don't really want to change the mainboard, try to use a hammer to make the CPU fit into your mainboard or get a QUAD core CPU.
Thanks so much man, really helpful. So any Quad core processor will fit?
Yup, any Core 2 Quad will fit. Try to get a Q9550, Q9505, Q9550S, Q9505S, or Q9650 as they are the BEST core 2 Quad CPUs. Beside, to date, Core 2 Quad Q9650 beats all i3 CPUs. Don't get Core 2 Extreme CPUs. Do they fit? Yes they do. However, I your mainboard itself does not support Core 2 Extreme CPUs, plus they are older, more expensive and consume more power.
Okay. Much appreciated.
can i run gta san andreas extreme edition in high settings
Most likely.
i am having this process…
not advisable to gamers wh0 like to play new games…
yeah, because now this processor is old…
Agreed, two under 3GHz cores just isn't enough these days…
not better than a Core 2 Duo
i have a core 2 duo e6400 2.13ghz and i think that this is much more better than my core 2 duo…what do you thinK??
this e5500 is more powerful than your e6400.. because E6400 has 4 star and this has 5 star rating
Thats not the actual reason,but its a way of expression! :P
