5.0 out of 5 stars I'm lucky!, October 11, 2006

By	Andrew R. Turner "Andrew" (Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can't believe that last year this very same processor sold for around $1,000.00! Using a MSI motherboard, I had to update the BIOS with a new version to support the dual-core processor. Pulled my old processor out and plugged this one in with no problems - Windows XP SP2 recognized it immediatly and installed all necessary support software automatically. After the restart, it easly smoked my previous 3200 2GHz Venice core and loaded Adobe Photoshop CS2 so fast I stared at it for 10 seconds before I realized it was already open and ready to work.

Will be looking to overclock it soon! Excellent processor for the price - highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Athlon kicking butt, December 4, 2006

By	Rick Harhigh - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a diehard Intel fan/user and for me to even think about AMD was unheard of. Also being a Network Engineer, I'm not newb to the IT/Computer world. Anyone that has been into the computer field since 1990+ knows AMD/Cyrix have made nothing but junk. If the cpu fan died, the cpu died seconds or minutes later. Intels would just keep chugging along for hours/days/weeks.

Not until recently has my opinion changed on AMD when I saw the massive improvements they have done to the core voltage, and efficiency of their products. I've had this machine now running non stop (It's a server) and there has been NO issues whatsoever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Power to Price Ratio is Unbeatable!, August 25, 2006

By	Thorpe L. Griner "Thorpe G" (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Since AMD slashed prices on their entire line of CPU's to compete with Intel's new Conroe's, these X2 line of processors have become a great buy for the money. The 4800+ continues to amaze me. It takes a conscience effort to slow this thing down. I load up multiple programs and do some serious multi-tasking and this CPU doesn't even pause. Only while running Windows Update on a WinXp X64 VMWare machine at the same time I was doing several other things did the CPU slow down a bit and I had to wait a few seconds. Thats incredible. Grab up this proc while you can. AMD is discontinueing all exept one of the CPU's with the dual 1MB L2 cache. I believe only keeping the FX-62's. The rest will just be the 512kb L2 cache. You wont regret this CPU... even though it is a socket 939.
