Pros: Been using these chips for about a month and they have FAR surpassed my expectations. Compiles a linux kernel in less than 5 minutes on two of these. from Newegg.com Pros: -Fast -responsive -runs cool even under load Cons: You can get a faster version if you have the cash? Other Thoughts: -When I picked these up they made a nice middle ground between price and performance. from Newegg.com Runs cool. The most powerful processor I have used. Booted up on the first try and installed XP Pro in under 9 minutes. Cons: NoneOther Thoughts: I run two of these processors on a Tyan S2877ANRF-RS board. from Newegg.com Runs cool.

Cons: None Other Thoughts: I run two of these processors on a Tyan S2877ANRF-RS board. from Newegg.com Pros: Very fast. Dual-core allows for multi-tasking and gives incredible performance in multi-threaded apps. Additionally these could be used in pairs on server motherboards doubling the power to what can't be achieved by any single CPU in existance. from Newegg.com Pros: Easy to install, though I had some trouble with the heatsinks they came with. Just about to install my WC for my 2 270's in my Tyan s2895. from Newegg.com Pros: Easy to install, though I had some trouble with the heatsinks they came with. Just about to install my WC for my 2 270's in my Tyan s2895. from Newegg.com Pros: These processors are excellent. I am running monte carlo markov chains and acheve convergence on 10 parameter grids in only a few days. from Newegg.com Pros: A great entry level processor or for both single and dual CPU motherboards. Installs for for me in less than 10 minutes. from Newegg.com Pros: A great entry level processor or for both single and dual CPU motherboards.
