I bought this Phenom 2 x2 545 with hopes to unlock the remaining 2 cores for a full fledged quad core cpu. Paired with an Asus M4A785TD motherboard and 4gig DDR3 RAM, I turned on ACC in the bios settings and have been running solid on Prime95 stress test for 6 hours so far. from Amazon.com Pros: I want a greener PC and not willing to sacrifice Performance, no real need for a Quad Core cuz that smashes my budget. Paired with ECS 785G stays cool works great used my old ram PC6400 800mhz renders Video to DVD in 10% less time than my Kuma 2.7ghz uses less power, runs cool, has a huge Cache and plays Crysis. I never overclock as it disables AMD Cool & Quiet so I went with this one my Kuma was a Black Edition. The Best Dual Core you can buy performance to dollar more bang for the buck. from Newegg.com Pros: Got 2 of these over the past 3 months. Unlocked both to quad b45. from Newegg.com Pros: For the money it really doesnt get better then this. overclocked to 3.3 and can almost keep up with my friends i5 in games like wow including dalaran. from Newegg.com Pros: runs very nicely - fast no hiccups of freezes even with Vista 64 Ultimate, Probably the first CPU I've bought with out buyers' remorse and the price is out of this world Cons: none so far from Newegg.com Pros: Very stable and decently fast. Cons: I'm kind of thinking I should have went with the Black Edition, just for the extra features :( from Newegg.com Pros: Runs off PicoPSU 150W silent power supply without problems in Shuttle SA76G2 box. Max temp 52c, idling now at 33. from Newegg.com Pros: Like this a lot, performing very well. Cons: Will most likely be outdated soon, if not already. Other Thoughts: A day or so after I bought this, AMD announced their newest Athlon II processors. One should definitely compare this processor to those. from Newegg.com Pros: It's am3 and with ddr3 1333 it runs very well. I did a build for a client's receptionist and since she doesn't need a quad I tried this. from Newegg.com Pros: I was shocked by a 4200 point gain in 3dmark06. I upgraded my Athlon X2 and my motherboard. Everything else was the same. from Newegg.com
