They are Core 2 variants, model numbers E2xxx and E5xxx and E7xxx: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116063 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116072 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115206 The existence of modern-day Pentiums and Xeons are why I asked *specifically* he is thinking of in terms of CPU. Was it a Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium D, or the modern-day Core 2-based stuff? An E5200 will blow away almost anything previously available under the "Pentium" brand name. Xeons similarly vary from the old Slot 2 PII-based stuff to the modern Core 2 architecture in LGA771 and LGA775 sockets.
