Like the superheroes of old, the AMD Phenom streaks out of the night to lay waste to your enemies. The 9150E has 4 cores that run at 1.8GHz. The quad-core Phenom processor has L1 and L2 caches for each core 2MB of L3 cache is available to be shared to handle really heavy loads or large data sets.
Memory transfers get faster than ever. HyperTransport Generation 3.0 mode allows up to 16.0GB/s of bandwidth. Add that to the 17.1GB/s from the integrated memory controller for an amazing 33.1GB/s of memory bandwidth. This unprecedented bandwidth is needed to feed the data hungry AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture cores.
You'd think that all of this power would be too hot to handle. Think again. AMD's Cool'n'Quiet 2.0 technology works with CoolCore Technology to minimize heat while keeping power and efficiency up. Now the cores can shut down unused parts of the processor when not in use. This saves power and helps to reduce the amount of heat generated. This function is built in so there's no need for drivers or BIOS updates.
Other Thoughts: If you are looking for a low cost, power efficient quad core that can tackle any common task with easy at an affordable price, then this processor is the best that you are going to get.
As for the other poster that stated that running 4 modules of DDR2 1066 won't work, that is incorrect, If yours isn't working at all then it's on the motherboards end. Running 4 ‘double-sided’ ram modules of DDR2 1066 will work, the ram modules will just clock down to DDR2 800mhz instead. This is due to AMD's onboard memory controller on the cpu in which DDR2 1066 with all 4 double-sided ram modules installed puts a high workload on the cpu's memory controller. So the memory controller has to compensate the speed, so that it is able to run all 4 double-sided ram modules properly. The only solution to this problem is to buy 4 ‘one sided’ ram modules which will run DDR2 at 1066mhz wilth all 4 ram modules installed. AMD 64's memory controllers has always had these limitations even to this day.

prefect budget quad core
Reviewed By: Jonc from TN on 8/19/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: The big pro for thi cpu is the price. You will be hard pressed to find another quad core cpu for this price.
Cons: It could be faster, but of course it could be more expensive too!
Other Thoughts: Used this CPU in a home made server running VMWARE. Currently running six server 2003 VM's on this box, and it's performing great!

Pros: LOW POWER, Runs cool, powerful enough for everyday tasks and some casual gaming, four cores!
Cons: Lower clock speed per core, hard to find (thank you, Newegg!!), older 65nm process.
Other Thoughts: This processor is excellent for those who use their computer primarily for home/office use and/or media center use. If you're looking for a gaming CPU, this is not what you should buy. The power usage of this chip is excellent, and it therefore runs very cool (around 27 to 32 degrees Celsius in my computer with an average fan). I highly recommend this, as it is efficient and very affordable, and has four cores for the multitasking of the everyday user.

Pros: Runs pretty cool with stock heat sink despite stresses. The extra 3 cores keep the system stable when running multi-threaded programs like games. Most powerful quad core processor available for my cheapo mobo that runs on low power. Can be clocked down easily inside of Linux to save on electricity when running your computer all night to grab those pesky 4.2gig Linux dvd images.
Cons: Despite the extra cores the computer boots Ubuntu Linux 9.04 (64bit) only slightly faster than it previously had with the single core AMD with Ubuntu Linux 9.04(32bit). But I'm still booting in under a minute with Ubuntu (about 48secs). While arch (64 bit) and slackware64 13 were booting at about 30 secs no modification. This is probably because the software for booting the OS is still only single threaded and thus doesn't boot much faster.
Other Thoughts: I bought this to upgrade my cheapo Linux gaming/multimedia rig. It has proven that it can do its job efficiently. I can see needing a better processor still when I want to run multiple multi-threaded programs at a time but that'll probably be a ways off.

Windows 7 gives it 6.5
Reviewed By: Seabee on 1/7/2010
Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: I guess the main pro would be the price if it works, and it does. Windows 7 gives it a surprising subscore value of 6.5. That beats my AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ (3.21 ghz) by 0.2 points. And, it's a quad. I have 2 Phenoms. The other one is a tri core and runs my media center. It has been operating non stop pretty much for over 6 month. It is solid as a rock. I expect this quad will be the same, but only time will tell.
Cons: Can't think of any right now.
Other Thoughts: I bought this for a cheap build to run my 2 ham radios. They don't need much so I didn't want to spend a bunch, and this along with an ASRock MOB with video fit the bill. I was surprised when I saw the W7 experience factor rating. I guess it could be overclocked, but I don't do that. I would like to hear from some overclockers though and see what they think.

Highlights
AMD64 Quad-core Technology AMD64 is designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. With Quad-core technology, four complete processor cores on a single die run at the same frequency to deliver exceptional multi-tasking power, allowing users to surge through the most demanding processing loads, including advanced multitasking, critical business productivity, complicated visual design and modeling, serious gaming, and visually stunning digital media and entertainment.
HyperTransport 3.0 Technology HyperTransport 3.0 Technology (HT 3.0) is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link designed to increase communication speeds between integrated circuits in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and telecommunications equipment. With HT 3.0 technology the AMD Phenom 9150E processor enjoys 3200MHz system bus speeds.
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.
AMD CoolCore Technology AMD CoolCore Technology reduces processor energy consumption by turning off unused parts of the processor. Power can be switched on or off within a single clock cycle so that energy is saved without compromising performance.
AMD Cool'n'Quiet 2.0 Technology AMD's Cool'n'Quiet 2.0 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.
Integrated DDR2 DRAM Memory Controller The AMD Phenom 9150E Quad-core processor is integrated with a DDR2 DRAM memory controller capable of supporting unbuffered DRAM. The integrated memory controller changes the way the processor accesses main memory, resulting in increased bandwidth, reduced memory latencies, and enhanced processor performance.
