Pros: Great processor for the money- on the right side of the power vs. price curve. from Newegg.com Pros: Very good for multi-core O/S & Tasks. Core usage for single processor tasks are handled OK. Cons: Hot. from Newegg.com Pros: Its good. My cooler has no trouble keeping the temperature down, and I have it overclocked to 3 Ghz. Keep up the good work, AMD. And kudos to Newegg, too, for the quick shipping. from Newegg.com Pros: So fast! Upgraded entire rig recently, was previously running an AMD 4400+ Dualcore (2.2GHz) and although it was a good processor in its day, this Phenom just trounces it. Lightly OC'd to 2.62GHz, so I basically have a 9950 for the price of a 9850. from Newegg.com Pros: For the price this is a great processor. I upgraded from a amd 3700+ that was about 4-5 years old and wow is the difference amazing. from Newegg.com Pros: 2.5g quad... i can keep it cool around 35c to 45c. fast Cons: it gets 4 eggs b/c im having trouble and i cant figure if its the processer or the mobo.. from Newegg.com Pros: nice processor, got it fast, that's newegg! Cons: First one i received was bad. from Newegg.com Pros: Cheap price when bought in COMBO with Gigabyte MA770 motherboard overclocked to 3.0GHz ran cool and stable in Prime 95. COMBO deals make this an option over Phenom II if cost is factor. from Newegg.com Pros: Moved from Athlon x2 5000 to this Phenom. It is definitely worth buying a Quad Core. from Newegg.com Pros: I was running an FX-55 and upgraded to this because I felt my old processor was bottle necking my GTX260 card, and boy was I right! After installing the Phenom 9850 my frame rates went crazy fast! from Newegg.com
