Just Wow....Strengths: This thing runs so fast its amazing. Weakness: None. Anyone who says that this processor is too pricey is sick. The performance you will get out of this processor is not comparable to Intels solution. You are getting what you pay for, period. This CPU has a ton of overclocking room being that it is the AMD64 X2 processor with the lowest clock speed. I have over clocked to 2.5 GHz with stock heatsink and fan, idle temp is 37C and under load is...

Athlon 64 X@ 3800 Dual Core ProcessorStrengths: Speed Temperature Weakness: none found My system is an AMD Athlon 64 X2-3800 processor, Corsair 2GB DDR400 XMS3200 memory Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard, 2 Hitachi DeskStar T7K250 SATA II drives, and GeForce 6800GT graphic card. The drives are set up as simple C and D without Raid. I do a lot of graphic processing and business Database work and I was looking for speed as well reliability. No complaints and no problems. The processor...

Dual Core RocksStrengths: Dual Core, Very Fast, Works like an FX Weakness: Price Very Fast CPU, I do have a lot of use for Dual Core. I do a lot of multi-tasking. Things like playing Games and encoding or decoding video on the background. I usually have a lot of programs open, so being able to switch between them without freezing my system is something I must not be without. Better reviews than its Intel Counterpart

Super fast chip can reach 4600+ or higher speedsStrengths: Mines overclocked to 2.5 ghz on air and stock voltage Weakness: none not one thing This is a fantastic chip, will overclock like cazy and it's potential hasn't even been tested yet. Why buy a chip like Conroe when the potential for this chip hasn't even been used. Also why buy a 4200x2,4400x2,or 4600x2 when this chip can be overclocked passed thier speeds and is alot cheaper.

Loving it.Strengths: By far, best value for the budget builder. I can not even believe the difference from my Pentium 4 1.5ghz,. Ability to slightly overclock with no temperature difference using stock heatsink. Weakness: None I built a budget dual core system, so the only thing that got me was the price dropped $50+ while my CPU was in the mail and didn't notice till I had it running. With the price drop I could have brought my budget PC in under $500, but still $550 for a Dual Core 2ghz is good. This is my first AMD and Intel will have a hard time getting me back.

Dual core is the futureStrengths: Speed. Low power consumption and temperature. Weakness: Price, lack of 64 bit and dual core capable apps The 3800+ is the low end of the AMD Athlon 64 X2 line, but is currently the based value. Any dual core will allow you to run a CPU intensive job in the background while still doing something meaningful with the machine. On my previous computer, trying to do any work while converting video was painful. Now, I don't even notice. Few apps are capabable of exploiting both cores simultaneously, but...

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 3800+ 2.0GHz ProcessorStrengths: Fast, multi-taksing Weakness: Windows! Be sure to use the AMD driver. There is also a Micro$oft hot-fix for 32-bit WinXP for dual-core processors. Before the hot-fix and driver update my system would freeze up often requiring a hard reboot.

Great Price/PerformanceStrengths: Superb Multitasking Capabilities Weakness: None Theres a night and day difference between using a single core cpu, and a dual core. Even in something as nondemanding as navigating your way around Windows and browsing online... In the Windows Task Manager, all the ~30+ threads are evenly distributed between the cores, instead of all being crammed on one core, so theres no longer any annoying delays or pauses from waiting for things to have to...

This chip is perfect for making a top line system...Strengths: Faster then p4 3.0ghz hyper-threaded by ALOT Overclockable to 2.2ghz (mine was) without a single glitch Cool!! runs at like 35 C under load (super pi to 4m) Weakness: the more expensive dual core chips are overclocking even MORE. The intel chips are cheap atm (thier stock is low too :P) nothing really I bought some nice memory and instantly and painlessly got 10% more speed out of this chip. I haven't pushed it as far as it takes to get it unstable but 2.0 to 2.2ghz is a whole price bracket for free. (of course, I've been drooling over the reviews of the faster chips OC'd speeds, up to 2.7ghz) very good deal for the $295 I paid for it. I would recommend it as the very least powerful CPU one...

AMD makes dual cpu easily available!
Strengths: Works with existing single core s939 motherboard Much lower power consumption and heat output than Intel's dual cpu offerings FAST!
Weakness: Price is a little bit higher than intels lowest end dual cpu...but is justified by the performance
AMD has done a great job creating thier X2 line of cpus. These are simply the best dual core cpus you can have right now. They work with most existing s939 mainboards with just a simple bios update and your computer will be virtually lag free. Just having 2 cores allows your computer to multitask so much easier. One thing is you want to make sure you have plenty of system memory available in...
