And even then I would think twice at any price over $5 (five dollars) for an Intel Core 2 ANYTHING in 2026. This thing is 20 years old and is very inefficient and hot, not to mention woefully under-powered by modern standards. Good for what it is: ancient, hot, slow, outdated. In it's day (2006!) a decent processor and four whole cores was a big deal. "Was" being the operative term. I bought mine used for less than $9 (nine dollars!) back in 2018 and it was already old and slow back then, but it was compatible with an old board I was resurrecting for light/retro duty, so it was worth it at the time. But in 2026 it's basically e-waste at this point UNLESS you have a mission critical geriatric system that can put it to use, and even then make really sure there isn't a better alternative. I'm all for reusing and refurbishing old tech, but this poor thing is the CPU equivalent of Methuselah. Maybe move that old workload to a VM on a more modern system or something. Whatever you do, think hard about the price. It was barely worth nine bucks in 2018. Eight years later I would not spend more than nine bucks--not sure I'd spend $2 on it. This is not a cheap route to anything modern--not gaming, not server workloads, not desktop use. Retro gaming or an irreplaceable OLD server, maybe, but there are less old, less hot, faster, less power hungry ancient CPUs out there that can do ANY job better. Anyone selling this thing as "New" needs to provide photos of unopened packaging and a no-questions return policy. It's not impossible to have new old stock this ancient, but it is HIGHLY unlikely. The $70+ price tag I see on it today seems incredibly high for what this is. Review: Amazing bang for the buck! - First I want to thank Digitalcpu. They delivered the Q6600 lightning fast and professionally packaged. The processor itself... quite impressive. Although it doesn't light up the benchmarks these days, it can still hang in there with most CPU's of today. It does tend to run a little warmer than I would like, but never to the point of stressing the system. Programs open and close in a snap. As far as video editing, this is a must have. Render times are greatly improved over any dual core out there. It can play most games as long as you have a good graphics card. This processor will not be your bottleneck for sure! Pros: It's a QUAD CORE! Very cheap Powerful Runs most of today's games with no issues. Great for Video Editing Simple to install... no pins. Con: Does tend to run hot even with "GO" stepping. If you have an older system and want it to be viable a bit longer, make the leap and update that old CPU. ## Features - SLACR - INTEL ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BNHUGHG | | Brand | Intel | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 8 MB | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 3.8 out of 5 stars (71) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00640626039963 | | Item Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Intel | | Model Number | SLACR | | Platform | Windows 7 | | Processor Brand | Intel | | Processor Count | 4 | | Processor Series | Core 2 Quad | | Processor Socket | LGA 775 | | Processor Speed | 2.4 GHz | | Secondary Cache | 8 MB | | UPC | 640626039963 | | Wattage | 105 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Intel - **CPU Manufacturer:** Intel - **CPU Model:** Core 2 Quad - **CPU Socket:** LGA 775 - **CPU Speed:** 2.4 GHz ## Images ![Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz 2.40GHz 8M/1066 SLACR Socket 775 CPU Processor + - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81LCl4tBAgL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this processor 64 bit and shipping for Bosna and Herzegovina?** A: Yes, it is 64 bit.

Was just a bare cpu but contact the seller and see what they include. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Too old for almost any current use case, and I LIKE old tech *by K***R on March 28, 2026* TLDR; Don't buy this 2006-era CPU in 2026 unless the server running your company desperately needs it, OR you really want to throw a crap-ton of money down a retro-gaming rabbit hole.

This came with the thermal paste too. Put it in and it worked like a charm. Made the PC much faster! Obviously it's not as fast as a newer processor, but it extended the life of this PC until I can afford to build a new one. ## Frequently Bought Together - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz 2.40GHz 8M/1066 SLACR Socket 775 CPU Processor + - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for All Processors (CPU, GPU - PC), Very high Thermal Conductivity, Long Durability, Safe Application, Non-Conductive - Thermaltake SMART 600W ATX 12V V2.3/EPS 12V 80 Plus Certified Active PFC Power Supply PS-SPD-0600NPCWUS-W --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/34058112-core-2-quad-q6600-2-4ghz-2-40ghz-8m-1066](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/34058112-core-2-quad-q6600-2-4ghz-2-40ghz-8m-1066) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-19*
