Good cpu for the price.
- Pros: Fairly fast
AM3 DDr3 support
45nm
2MB l2 cache, as apposed to the last generation with 1MB
Stock cooler is good enough for this chip
- Cons: None for now
- Other Thoughts: Very fast for what you get. Boots vista in less than 20 seconds from power button to desktop. Runs very cool, idles at 22C, 38C max load. Ambient temp 20C.
If you are looking for a good budget AM3 chip, this is it. Vista feels much quicker than my old e6750 DDR2 system it replaced.
Apevia XQpack2
MSI 785GM-E65 AM3 motherboard
4GB DDR3 1333, G.Skill
ATI 4650
WD Caviar Blue 320GB
Vista 64bit
Good little proc
- Pros: This is a very good CHIP, not a motherboard... Have run Vista32, Vista64, 7x32, and 7x64 on this chip and it performs perfectly under all tests. At 65W it's half the power of the 4 core Phenoms. Have not had any temperature problems and have had it clocked to 3.0 just fine.
AM3 DDR3 rocks!
- Cons: Will do everything just fine, a Phenom will do better for the most demanding games, but for normal users, this is a good base to run
- Other Thoughts: Good chip... ignore reviews about motherboards... this is not a motherboard...

Impressive
- Pros: Fairly quick, good price, and it runs extremely cool. Using it in a media center & it does the job to perfection.
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: It feels cold in here since I got rid of the old pentium 4.
$60 Screamer...
- Pros: -CHEAP
-High Head-room to overclock
-only 65watts (low heat)
-AM3 & DDR3 Support
-64-Bit Processor
- Cons: only dual core?? (Not really a Con.. but still)
- Other Thoughts: Rock solid, and runs cool overclocked to 3.7GHZ on STOCK voltage, and Arctic Cooling AM3 CPU Cooler. Gives me darn near a 7 on the Windows Experience Index in WIN 7 Pro 64 Bit.
love this little budget screamer!!!
Budget Power
- Pros: Fast Reliable -Price is Great - Seems as fast as my Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 and almost as fast as my CoreI7 Quad Core, The great thing is that it was 1/8th the price. A Great Budget Build.
- Cons: None - Get More than what you pay for.
- Other Thoughts: For the Serious Gamer Spend Double and Get the Quad Core. But for Any Other USe This is a perfect Fit. Even if you are not a Serios Gamer and just want a Rig on a budget.
