The processor is good, and runs great, but be mindful of the watt requirements of the processor. Even if your motherboard documentation states the motherboard supports that processor model 955, there are 2 versions of it. The 125W and the 95W processor. My motherboard only supports the 95W processor, so this specific processor worked, but very slow. In the end, I traded it with a friend for a slower processor that runs at 95W.
That was my mistake (so no negative ratings), and if you plan to buy this processor, check your motherboard website for the watts supported by the motherboard.
Other than that, the processor runs great, and is very fast. At least it runs great on my friends computer, and he likes overclocking. He's really happy with 'my' purchase at least.
So the product is good, but be mindful of the watts required and do not make the same mistake as me.

I am impressed with this processor at this price/performance range. It scored 7.3 on the Windows 7 benchmark test on bootup of a fresh Ultimate Edition install (not overclocked). It's running at a cool 39 degrees celsius with the Zalman aftermarket cooler (my experience with AMD OEM cpu coolers is that they are loud and barely passable so I am leaving it unopened in the box). I highly recommend this processor with any of the equipment below which I would happily award 5 stars when paired with it:

I like AMD. This processor is the best I have had. Even though I've only built two systems, this processor was everything I wanted and more. I will say that when I first put it to use it seemed to do the same amount of work as my dual core, til I looked online and read how to unleash the beast. Now I convert whole movies in under ten minutes. Which took 30-40 under my dual core. Works through everything I want it to.

Performance on a budget
I was able to achieve 4.2 GHz fairly easily. You just need adequate cooling. Paired with the right mobo this cpu is a winner. Don't use the stock cooler if you plan to overclock. Read more
