OK, if you go over to the AMD CPU section you see a lot of posts about "bang for the buck" processors and how they excel in that regard. Well, I decided to upgrade one of my farm rigs from a Celey 326 to something that will put out better ppd/power usage and ran across the E5200. I just got it in yesterday evening and installed into my P35-DS3L system and after playing with it last night and today, I have it running at 4 GHz, and for an $84 investment.
So, I was wondering what other kinds of cheap dual core Intel procs we have bought here and what kind of overclocks you are getting out of them. Also, post up your results if you are underclocking too so we can see how low a voltage you can get them to run and still do meaningful work. The main 2 criteria for listing in this thread are:
I would like to see them listed as follows:
You can post some simple screenshots if you want but it's not necessary. Also, if it was a suicide run state so. I'm primarily wondering about stable 24/7 clocks.

Also, post up your results if you are underclocking too so we can see how low a voltage you can get them to run and still do meaningful work. The main 2 criteria for listing in this thread are:
- Cost - I picked $100 as the cost ceiling, excluding shipping and tax.
- At least a dual core processor. It can be a dual core Celeron, Pentium Dual Core or Core 2 Duo.
I would like to see them listed as follows:
- Processor - whatever it's called. Also, you can include whether it's 65nm or 45nm tech.
- Stock speed -
- Overclocked (or underclocked) speed -
- Vcore at overclocked speed -
- Cooling -
- Motherboard - (manufacturer and model)
- Processor Cost - optional
