Pros: Came with thermal paste already on the cooling unit, and fit well in my Foxconn A74MX-K. Runs great, and have had no trouble running Windows x64. from Newegg.com Pros: what can you honestly say about this cpu that hasent been said? it truely is a great value.great for multitasking, browsing the web and even for gaming. from Newegg.com I have had this for over a year and it has not failed me. Great for anyone upgrading from a single core processor. After using this chip I do not know if I will go back to anything less than the 5000 x2. I ran this ran this on a 300w power supply with two cd/dvd roms with no problems. from Newegg.com Pros: Price, Speed oh did I metion speed? Cons: None umm it waassnt free! Other Thoughts: 5000 Brisbane, 8GB G. Skill DDR2 800, 160GB Segate Sata HD Asus EN8400GS, BioStar A770A2 MoBo, LG DVD-RW & LG DVD Rom, Vista Premium 64Bit. from Newegg.com Pros: What can i say. This proc is way better than most of the reviews make it sound. from Newegg.com Pros: Inexpensive AMD cpu. Fast enough for today's usage and inexpensive enough for today's economy. from Newegg.com Pros: Worked Fine right out of the box. Ran all of my programs and even games. Over clocked to 3.0 ghz with no voltage or cpu cooler device and was stable running a L4D server. Cons: Box cooler is only aluminum with no heat pipes like the better models, but it still cools fine. from Newegg.com Pros: Runs nice and cool, OC'd to 3.0 Ghz stable, not using stock cooler though. Runs anything I throw at it with ease. from Newegg.com Windows 7 rates the processor at a 5.9 (I've seen quad cores that rate 5.9, too...). MatLab bench ratings put my budget build beating every other comparison box. For example: 63: My system (see other thoughts)54: Vista 32bit on 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 640048: Linux 64bit 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q660046: Windows XP (32bit) 3.2GHz Intel Core 2 DuoSuffice to say, STUNNING performance/cost. Cons: None for the price. from Newegg.com Pros: dual - core on the cheap from AMD. I plugged it in, and it worked with no trouble. from Newegg.com
