It was easy to install. A word of warning to other socket 775 users, you may need to update your bios microcode to have it recognise the processor fully. Search the internet to find out if your motherboard is compatible with the xeon processors first as not all of them are. I am more than happy with the speed increase from my Core 2 Q6600.

It it started to boot ok, but when Win7 was loading started to do it veeeery sloooowly, stuttering. But in safe mode it was running quickly, without problems. After some hours of tries and errors I've been able to locate the cause of problem - you just need to disable spreed spectrum. And voila! All is working as it should! :) Hope that my advice helps some one :)

Works perfectly in my EP43T-S3L Gigabyte MB. I have F4 BIOS, clear cmos first, load defaults, boot, do it again, and it was fine. Recognized it as a XEON 5450.---Best deal on a hard-modded XEON, no reason to buy a 9650, for 30-40 dollars more..none! Very happy indeed, and the delivery from China, was about a week!

I was skeptical of this mod working, but it actually does! just follow the instructions online very carefully and it's an easy 10$ upgrade

I got this as a upgrade for my aging gaming PC. It is an LGA775 based PC, and I was running a Q9400 clocked at 3.6GHz. I got this clocked at 4.0GHz, and in some cases it's almost twice as fast. It also can beat a first gen i7 too, so I believe it has an excellent value. It can even almost match a newer i5, such as a i5 2400, for a much lower price. I like its lower power consumption, lower heat output, and lower price for 12MB cache, and ease for overclocking. If you get it for a dual socket LGA771, you should have a wonderfully priced home server.
