In order to save money, you can find this as oem for below 135! Make sure you get a VENICE core however, which not only runs cooler but also has added SSE3 instructions. I am running this with an epox ep 9npaj (make sure you get a good nforce 4 mobo to oc this puppy!) and its at 2.55 ghz under max vcore and full load is only 40 (at max vcore, wow!). I really recommend tossing in a venus 12 heatsink/fan (my current hs/f) which amazon also sells for only 28$, lowest price on the web! Dont waste money on an fx 53 or athlon 64 4000, just get one of these w/ a venice core, clock it up and it's lights out!

I didn't buy the 3000+ here though. I bought it...uh, elsewhere ( a site that will be censored dare I name it, a COMPETITOR!) for fifteen bucks less.

Never installed a processor before? Neither did I. I was so nervous I nearly wet my pants. Kept imagining trying to return a fried CPU, and the customer service rep on the phone telling me, "Sorry, Sir, we do not accept return items when the customer has damaged them."

In reality, the processor installed with ease. No problems! And what is more, it overclocks like a dream, so you are saving about $100, buying AMD's CPU, over the comparable INTEL junk.

Why I do not like INTEL? Well, heat is one reason. Their CPUs run hotter, and are more expensive. Why pay more? AMD has closed the reliability gap that used to exist back in the days when Intel abused its monopoly power and forbade major motherboard manufacturers to support the AMD chipset.

If you had a neg experience with AMD in the past - FORGiVE AND FORGET! They are back with a vengeance and ain't taking any prisoners. The smart money buys AMD 64's in this market at this time. Paying more for Intel is... hmm, a "WASTE"?

I love the way this particular 939 Athlon processor functions. I've already installed this one in several computers. It is totally steady and extremely reliable. As with all Athlon processors this one can be over clocked. Never had the need to do so because this one provides excellent speed for almost any operation. Once you add Microsoft 64 operating system to the computer it makes this processor more than adequate for basic computer operation or gaming. A great processor with tons of power for almost anyone.
