Best

RECOMMENDED: The current price/performance leader.

Good

RECOMMENDED: Computer systems based on this CPU give you the most power for the price.

Fair

CANNOT RECOMMEND: If you're buying a computer built around this CPU, make sure you're getting a good deal on its other components.

#### (%%)

Poor

NOT RECOMMENDED: Either the price is too high for the marginal performance gain, or it will not likely be fast enough to adequately run the latest applications, games, or operating systems.

#### (%%)

####	Benchmark score (based on Intel's iComp)
(%%)	Relative speed compared to the fastest processor
