Well decent CPU, Prescott has extra instruction set - SSE3, though more programs are yet to utilise this.
Installation is a breeze, thermal pad already on the base of the HSF, though quite a bit of pressure needs to be put on the clips to lock it in place on the motherboard.
One downside:
This CPU runs alot hotter than its Northwood brothers, I idle at about 49C and peak at about 58C, and fan speed is about 3000 to 4500.
PS: Kernel is custom compiled.
