Pretty good first revision!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I bought this combo (w TForce 550) because I saw some reviews & the price was right. This chip's a little beast, I've got the combo running stable (prime 16 hrs) @ 3106 (9.5,x326 @ 533 htt 3x) on air! At this speed Sandra & Everest benches put its performance between a c2d e66/6700, not bad.
Cons: Needs volts (nothing crazy) to get up there, make sure you have good cooling (using Scythe SCMN-1000).
Other Thoughts: Tip: To get mobo to work over 260/270 turn on integrated memtest,set FSB in mid 200's and work up by 10 & test until you get where you want. When there, turn off memtest and boot.

Tremendous OC value

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: With a modest heat sink and stock voltages, I got this CPU from 1.9GHz all the way up to 2.8Ghz (295mhz x 9.5) with nary a hiccup. Fantastic value for the overclocker.
Cons: The chip doesn't take well (read: at all) to changing the CPU multiplier - all speed gains need to be brought about through upping the HT speed.
Other Thoughts: Deal of the century right here, put this together with a mobo that can exercise its abilities, and you've got a winner.

Decent

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Inexpensive, Dual-Core
Cons: not the fastest thing in the world.
Other Thoughts: This thing runs very cool. i had an old watercooled AthlonXP 3200+ system. I upgraded only the motherboard, RAM, CPU, and waterblock. This combo runs 8C cooler at max load.

This was the cheapest dual-core CPU at newegg. Good thing about the skt AM2 is skt AM3 based chips will be backwards compatible. When the new skt AM3 chips come out (assuming you can get a BIOS update) you're good to go.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Cheap! Runs very cool even with my not so great 18 dollar thermaltake cooler. Great for OC.

My gigabyte nforce4 board maxed out before the chip did. The highest I could get was 2.76ghz before my board maxed.
Cons: For the price, how could there be? Seriously, I bought a 3200+ single core a few years ago when they were pretty much top of the line, and this thing kills it for a 1/3rd the price of what I originally payed.
Other Thoughts: Get a good board if you plan to OC it past 290 FSB at a 9.5 multiplier. Which is what it stays at.

It was a little finicky if I tried lowering the multiplier any. I would suggest keeping at 9.5

The new brisbane chips have just come out, that are exactly the same but lower wattage. You might want to get those instead. But I love this chip.

Highlights

newegg AMD64 Dual-core Technology
AMD64 is designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. With dual-core technology there are two complete processor cores in one physical package running at the same frequency to deliver TRUE multi-tasking power, allowing users to switch from one program to another without pausing for the computer to catch up and reducing annoying processing pauses.
newegg HyperTransport Technology
HyperTransport Technology (HT or HTT) is a high-speed, low latency and point-to-point link designed to increase communication speeds between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems and networking and telecommunications equipment. HyperTransport Technology in the Athlon 64 X2 3600+ Socket AM2 processor enables the speed of system bus up to 2000MHz and delivers up to 8GB/s I/O bandwidth and up to 20.8GB/s processor-to-system bandwidth.
newegg Enhanced Virus Protection
All AMD processors equipped with AMD64 technology are Enhanced Virus Protection-enabled. Enhanced virus protection acts as a preventative measure causing viruses to be localized, short-lived, and non-contagious, eventually being flushed from system memory.
newegg CNQ: Cool'n'Quiet Technology
AMD's Cool'n'Quiet technology is an innovative solution available on AMD Athlon 64 processor-based systems that can effectively lower power consumption and enable a quieter-running system while delivering performance-on-demand.
newegg AMD Virtualization
Virtualization on desktop computers allows a single PC to act like multiple virtual machines. AMD Virtualization can enable client computers to seamlessly support multiple operating environments. And it also helps make it easier for PC enthusiasts to upgrade and maintain their PCs through emulation.
