5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible!, August 25, 2005

By	Kam L. L. Lily - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This CPU is lightning fast!
I bought a new desktop with this AMD 4400+. It fully install a Windows XP Home in about 10 minutes I think. The computer restart faster takes less time for my old computer to shut down, which is using P4 2.53GHz. The system is cool and quiet like the AMD's technology. I can play Battlefield 2 online for several hours and the system is still at 40 degrees Celsius only! This CPU has best value to performance ratio among all other AMD Dual Core CPUs. I am NEVER going back to Intel!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Multitasking and Future-proof, May 2, 2006

By	Bradley J. Leopold "Gaming Enthusiast" (Laramie, WY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This CPU is one of the best processors out for multi-tasking. It is a great value for your hard earned money. If you mainly do only one thing on your computer at a time, you would be better off with a single core Opteron processor, but if you're like me and are ripping CD's in the background and want to continue using the computer for other things such as playing games, surfing the internet, or any other task, this processor is for you.

I have to list a few disclaimers that you should know before you buy this processor. First, if all you want is raw power, one of the single core Athlon FX series chips would be a better fit for you. Secondly, this chip seems to overclock fairly well. I have mine running at 2.6GHz from 2.2GHz stock, but the Opteron dual cores would be only a few dollars more, and they seem to overclock better. Thirdly, some games have issues with running on two cores and will lag. I've found that this is solved by simply setting the affinity of the process to one core only.

To sum it up, this is a great processor for the price, and allows one to run multiple programs at once with little slow-down. The processor will only improve with time to come as more programs and games are made that will take advantage of multiple cores.
