Well I still have an Intel mobo sitting around from Intel Retail Edge and I think I'm going to make an upgrade to my mother's computer. Right now she has a Pentium D930 on a ECS mobo and 1GB of DDR400. I was looking at the e2180 because of the price but would that be much of an upgrade from the D 930? I'm going to pick up 2GB of Gskill if I order the proc and install Vista Home Premium on it. Would the e2180 get the job done pretty well without an OC? She has a mATX rig and I'd like to keep heat an noise down as much as possible as it is her work/personal machine.

Yes, at least in terms of heat production and efficiency. The e2180 will murder the pentium d 930

e2180 would do better. But it would absolutely slaughter them if you OC.

If your running ddr1 you may need a new board to get the e2180 running.. just a thought...
But anyway what chipset are you running?
