Customer Reviews:

Great but has some problems running big games. [Posted on 2008-03-01]
I bought this processor with an Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard in replacement of an AMD Athlon 3200+ and a MSI K9VGM-V thinking that finnaly I was going to be able to play at max graphics with great performance but games like C&C III get laggy at max settings and have to run it at low-mid graphics. It's the same with portal or Oblivion. I guess that depends more on the video card than on the motherboard or processor (I have an 128 mb Nvidia GPU)
Please tell me if this is unussual and I SHOULD be able to ru them perfectly.

I will buy another one soon [Posted on 2008-03-10]
I put this CPU in a new machine I made for my wife and it works really well. It came right up and is very fast. I will soon find a reason to rebuild my own machine and put one of these CPUs in it.

Best in Price/Performance Processor [Posted on 2008-04-01]
Bought this item a few months ago and has been working flawlessly since. Runs Apps and Games no slow downs whatsoever, best dual core processor from AMD.Able to run COD4 and a virus scan at once,no complaints.

Very fast and cheap. Power hungry. [Posted on 2008-04-01]
As the title reads, it's very fast and cheap, but power hungry. No heat issues. Remember to have a good power supply unit (at least 500W), specially if you have to feed many internal devices.

great upgade for the x2 mother board  [Posted on 2008-05-14]
this is a great upgrade for those with a x2 mother board and want more speed, better gaming, and better over all system performance with out changing the mother board... the cpu is easy to install... the cpu does come with a new heat sink, although i recommend buying a better one, as this one blows the air down onto the mother board and around the cpu... i think that is counter productive. after i intalled a new cpu cooler i have noticed no heat issues at all.. the cooler i am using is SilenX iXtrema Pro 92mm Triple Heatpipe LED Alum CPU Heatsink (Socket 754/775/939/940/AM2 as well i recommend artis silver thermo grease.
