Intel core 2 duo e6550 graphics driver download

Pros: Overclock heaven. Overclocks easily to 3.5 ghz @ 1.5 volts ( 7 x 505) but it runs hot at 66C. I'm currently running 3.0 ghz (7 x 429) WHILE UNDERVOLTING IT @ 1.1volts, very very stabily at a cool 34C idle, 43 C full load. I had to turn off the fan settings so that the stock fan would run @ 100% speed. The performance is like 5 times better than older single cores. Multi-tasking. Opening 2 versions of the same 3d demanding games.. photoshop, playing movies.. everything works without any lag what so ever. The stock voltage is overrated. I'm running an overclock while overvolting. The Nero conversion of AVI's to burn to playable DVD's used to take 1 hour 30 mins to 2 hours. Now it takes 20 to 25 minutes. The 4 mb cache really makes a difference (coming from a hardcore AMD fan and I hope AMD starts putting bigger caches and is able to compete once again) All around good buy, best price to performance ratio.

Cons: 1. The stock voltage is overkill so try to undervolt or it gets a little hot especially if you try to leave the stock heatsink on SMART mode. Instead turn that off so the heatsink fan runs on 100% all the time. (its still silent and does 1985 rpm) 2. Not a quad core, but imho you don't really need it. 3. While its super stable in XP, Vista doesn't seem to like any overclocks and it restarts.. but I think that's Vista's problem.

Overall Review: Paired the E6550 with a GA P35 DS3L motherboard, 4 gb DDR2 800 gskill ram, and an 8800GT in an antec sonata III case w/ 500 watt power supply. You won't regret it.
