Easy to unlock 4th core

white Reviewed By: u-a on 12/16/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Was able to unlock the 4th core by enabling ACC in the bios on my Asus M4A785-M motherboard. CPU has been stable under 100% load for 2 weeks now using Folding@Home. Not one bad WU.
Great bang for the buck processor. Would not hesitate to buy again. For $75 you get a nice quad core processor (provided you unlock the 4th core).
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Didn't unlock 3rd cache with ACC, however with 4th core unlocked no worries.

X3 425 Processor - Makes a lively robust Linux system

white Reviewed By: JR on 10/29/2009
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Boots a 64-bit Mepis 8.0.10 Linux operating system noticeably faster than the AMD Phenom ™ X4 9500 Agena 2.2 Quad. Ordered the processor two days ago received the package late yesterday, and it went into a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H this morning replacing the Sempron 140 that I could not unlock and use as a X2 440.

So far this CPU appears to be a reasonable priced upgrade, for my Agena 2.2 Quad...
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: So far quite pleased with this snappy processor, and time in front of the Monitor will tell the Real Story... I have used a 64-bit Mepis Linux with the quad for 2.5 years and I run a good number of different function continually... This is my first X3, it is faster than the quad, and it has one less core... I looked at the X4 630, but thought i would give this CPU a decent trial and see if there is a performance improvement or hit that matters...

Athlon II X3

white Reviewed By: dbf on 2/6/2010
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Runs win 7 64 bit and XP 32 bit with ease; 6.6 rating on Win 7 experience index. Not a gamer, but heavy use of office applications and internet use. Also handles music and video playback with clarity and ease.
Cons: none so far
Other Thoughts: Would buy again but with L3 cache, just for comparison purposes. Much better performance than dual core.
