Pros: Real fast processor, everything is very responsive in Vista. I'm very please with it.
Cons: Stock fan/heatsink is well, stock. It gets the job done but definitely not for overclocking.
Other Thoughts: I'm going to try and OC it as far as it will go with a zalman 8700 fan/heatsink.

Pros: Great processor, has lasted me more than a year now. Had a Phenom 9500 but there are problems with it, so I just threw this guy back in there. Let me tell you, its a pretty decent overclocker for AMD. So far I've got this guy to 3GHz without touching the voltage @ 28 Celcius
Cons: I will let you know when I find one.

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. With HT technology the Athlon 64 X2 5200+ AM2 processor enjoys up to 2000MHz system bus speeds and delivers a maximum of 8GB/s I/O bandwidth and 20.8GB/s processor-to-system bandwidth.
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 Enhanced Virus Protection
All AMD processors equipped with AMD64 technology are enabled with Enhanced Virus Protection. Enhanced virus protection acts as a preventative measure causing viruses to be localized, short-lived, and non-contagious, then viruses are flushed from system memory.
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.
