Pros: Works great in all 32-bit operating systems. Cons: COMPLETELY incompatible with ALL 64-bit operating systems; personally checked Vista, XP, and a slue of linux kernels. AMD is COMPLETELY aware of the problem, but will not admit it as to prevent refunds to customers. AMD is willing to do that, and willing to have consumers loose use of their processor while it is being "tested" by their lab; which will of course tell you that it's working fine, and that the OS is to blame. from Newegg.com Pros: Works great in all 32-bit operating systems.

AMD is willing to do that, and willing to have consumers loose use of their processor while it is being "tested" by their lab; which will of course tell you that it's working fine, and that the OS is to blame. from Newegg.com Pros: Price was right Cons: BugsCrashBlue ScreensLockups from Newegg.com Pros: Inexpensive, fast, easily overclocks Cons: none Other Thoughts: This was my first AMD build....ever. I had an accident with a cat while I was upgrading my MP3 server, and fried the board and CPU. from Newegg.com Pros: Came with a great fan! Cons: none, Other Thoughts: I upgraded to the 3ghz phenom 945 x4 like 2 weeks after getting this. But ill be using this processor for my friends PC. from Newegg.com Cons: Now a little expensive... Not good but okay at gaming once overclocked. Bought the x2 550 Phenom II at 3.64Ghz and Owe-My-Gosh, it's much smoother then this one. Huge gaming difference. from Newegg.com Pros: Got it for 89.00 and its a quad core.. huge upgrade from Sempron! from Newegg.com Nice. Unlocked multiplier for overclocking capability, 95w power usage. Paired with an ECS A780GM-A motherboard this processor is great for a budget build. Runs Windows 7 32bit like a charm. from Newegg.com Pros: This was bought to replace my wife's 7 year old AMD processor, which is still running just fine. This thing is lightning fast and I haven't even tried to OC it yet. from Newegg.com Pros: Low price, powerful, very stable, high quality heatsink and fan Cons: None so far from Newegg.com
