I have run heavy games on this like assassin's Creed Black Flag and it works great. Would have been wonderful if it supported hyper threading.
Edit: I overclocked the CPU to 3.45Ghz and i could run Black Flag at Medium to high settings.
My Graphics Card GT 520 2gb
4 GB RAM

This is the best in class processor one can have. You can do gaming, even high end graphic games works well when played at low requirements. I am using it since one year, with 2GB RAM and a Gigabyte Motherboard. And till now i don' have any problem.

I Am Using It With ASUS P5G41C-MLX Moherboard(1333Mhz) (4Gb 4Gb)Simtronics(Dynet EVM) Windows7(64-Bit).It Runs Hot With Stock Heatsink,So Use Coolermaster Heatsink(Must During Summers),Otherwise It's Good Processor.It Can Be Overclocked To 3.66Ghz With Above Board.....

This belongs to the Wolfdale-3M series and has a lithiography of 45mm (the smaller the better, intels latest SB and IB use 22mm). Nevertheless, i purchased this CPU and its an amazing buy. I overclocked it to 4ghz (w/ Hyper 212 evo) and it runs stable with no issues at all. For gaming needs too, this CPU will suffice for the next 1 - 1.5 years. The only drawback is that it has no HT and is only two cores.

Intel E5700 3.00 GHz 2MB L2 Is Best Processor In Market.
Before That I Using Intel Celeron 430 Single Core 1.80 GHz 512KB L2 This
Processor Is Really Suck Brain!!! Too Dumb Slow But This Intel Pentium
E5700 Is King Of All LGA 775 Socket Processor Now My System Boot Win 7
In Only 20 Second And I Able To Play All Letest Games Without LAG!!!
Now My System Specification Is
* ATI 5450 1 GB DDR3 (But From Flipkart)
* Intel Pentium E5700 At 3.00 GHz 2MB L2 (But From Flipkart)
* Transcend 2GB x 2...

If u r interested in dual core processor in tightly budget buy dual core G620. It takes you more faster than this only advantage this has clock sped much mor than G620 all other feature it is far behind from G620

I just got this processor today and i paired it with acer MG43M board and sparkle nvidia 8400gs and had great experience in gaming. I suggest who read this review should buy it too.It is cheaper than market price and great for gaming.

a nice processor. i'am using this with ASUS P5G41T-M LX motherboard and SAPPHAIR HD5670 1GB DDR5 graphics card and 3gb TRANSCEND 1333mhz
i had overclocked it to 3.68 ghz on stock cooler
and it can run smoothly .looking for a water cooler now.

While the Conroe/Wolfdale architecture is getting outdated now, I still have an E5200 running close to 4GHz on air cooling (stock 2.5GHz) with slightly higher voltage than stock. These Pentiums were great value for money.
