5.0 out of 5 stars AMD Dual Core...$60, December 13, 2009

This is my first AMD CPU and I am pretty impressed with it. The installation was a breeze and it will run in many a motherboards. It runs cool ever after a 20% over clock (3.36GHz) (35 C) with stock heat sink and fan. Even under load it still runs well. I have been using it to encode video and it does that in a breeze, a full DVD in under 20 mins!!

I recommend it to anyone who wants to try out AMD on a budget. Real NICE CPU.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice processor for the money, much faster than older pentiums/althons, March 19, 2010

This is a very nice processor for the money. Much, much faster than my other pentiums and athlons, and for only 50-60 bucks, seems like a no bainer.

I can edit photos/video, surf web and burn CD's/DVD's with no problems (processor in the 50% to 60 range). Even during heavy multitasking the radiator stays cool to the touch with the stock fan, not even warm at all.

My setup:
- This processor
- Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H Micro ATX Motherboard
- Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 XMS3 4 GB PC3-12800 Core i5 Memory Kit (yes it works on AMD systems too)
- Antec Sonata III w/500w earthwatts power supply
- Windows 7
- wd 1tb caviar black and 250gb wd ide hd

4.0 out of 5 stars Good bang for the buck!, March 16, 2010

This processor is a great buy if you are looking for a budget no-frills processor.

2 cores. Good speed and an excellent price paired with low power consumption.

Great for everyday netsurfing, Office and even gaming. For serious gaming get a 4-core Athlon or Phenom.
