Tech Level: somewhat low - Ownership: less than 1 day

Pros: I have an Emachines el1331-05- it currently uses the athlon 64 2850e , I see that the el1310-01 uses the le1640- and it is most likely the same MB, can anyone tell me if this chip will work in my system

Cons: Hard to find any information about the MB or application for this line.

Pros: Only 45W power consumption, runs cool on stock HS/fan, provides zippy performance for the price point it is offered at. I use my desktop for primarily spreadsheet work and internet surfing, and occasionally for a bit of gaming. In doing daily tasks it feels just as powerful as my other machine with a dual core processor. In combination with an HD4670, this thing puts up 34 fps in RE5 (DX10)! Runs HL2 and Source games full-tilt!

As far as daily computing goes, this one deserves a look!

Cons: A surefire bottleneck in newer systems with powerful GPU's....serious gamers know to look elsewhere.

As far as daily computing goes, this one deserves a look!

Other Thoughts: Single-core might already be ancient by today's standards, but it still remains a viable choice for everyday computing and light-tasking for those on a budget or those who simply don't need the extra horsepower.
