Sorry to geek out but I had one of those and they are 65nm Conroe CPU's and they are 1.86GHz, Wolfdale (Penryn is the mobile version) was 45nm ;)

Nope. There are two Intel E6xx0 series The Core 2 Duo Conroe which were crap and the Pentium Dual core Wolfdale. I had the Wolfdale.

Wish I could have gotten a Pentium E6500K but those were only available in China.

 

Yeay for geeking out! :D

(I have to explain the two E6xx0 series all the time)

My first PC was an AMD Athlon XP 1500+ back in 2002 I think when I was 21. Only AMD system I ever built.
