pinolian Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 month to 1 year This user purchased this item from Newegg	12/5/2007 9:09:18 AM its ok Pros: It installed easy enough and operates at a cool temperature. nopt super fast, but great for the 4x.xx I paid for it Cons: None Other Thoughts: Its not a dual core and its not a core 2 duo; don't expect it to be. But it does well enough in light gaming (bf2, Doom3.. mostly older games) and handles office applications well. This is in my back up gaming box that I slapped together on the cheap Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: average Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/29/2007 8:30:56 PM Works Great- QC Questionable Pros: Very reasonable price when purchased in a combo. Temperature running low with an all aluminium cooler. Cons: Quality control Other Thoughts: I was pleased with the price when I purchased this with a Foxconn motherboard. I used it to build a computer for my parents. Just like the other reviews--this thing had around 9 bent pins. I managed to straighten them out, but a corner of the chip looked like it had been dropped on a concrete floor from around 6 feet. It also had finger prints on it, which I removed with rubbing alcohol. I carefully, bent the corner back using a plastic picnic knife (I use this to spread the Artic Silver) and FINALLY got this thing to drop into the bracket. Runs around 33 degrees C. using a cheap aluminium heatsink. I was surprised at the low numbers, since this is my first AMD build since the days of the Athlon A, and I remember them running red hot. Overall, I am pleased but initially thought I was going to have to RMA the chip. Honestly, I think that some of these OEM chips are customer returns or factory seconds.

ThepcMan Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	11/17/2007 7:12:13 AM Great Pros: This is a great cpu and can be overclocked to almost 2.7ghz this means it is almost better than a 3800 for the same price Cons: The heat is a little high for my taste so if overclocked make sure you have good cooling or it can reach 70c easy Other Thoughts: none Did you find this review helpful?

zerokai Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/15/2007 10:06:49 PM Slow upgrader ...

Enigma Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/7/2007 10:16:30 AM Great lil chip Pros: Great chip for the price, I have clocked it to 2.6GHZ without frying it. Cons: Not free Other Thoughts: Buy it!!! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Ed Ellks Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	11/1/2007 6:20:28 AM AMD processors are the best Pros: I picked up this processor to replace a 3000+ that the heat sink clip had broken on. The processors are great, but the stock heat sinks aren't. This one obviously doesn't come with a heatsink so I picked up the 5 dollar Cooler Master one that they recommended, and it's a great combination. The price is awesome for a processor this quick. Cons: None. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 week to 1 month This user purchased this item from Newegg	10/22/2007 4:02:44 PM Pros: Runs fine. Cons: Couple of easily straightened out bent pins. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	10/17/2007 12:54:48 PM A very good chip Pros: Very cheap, AMD does it right. Cons: Not dual-core...but for 40 bucks, you can't do much better than this. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	9/9/2007 12:32:23 PM Great for the price Pros: Pretty fast with a 1000mhz fsb, but then again I have 2.25 gigs of DDR RAM installed. I really like it, it was probably around 60 or 50 when I got it but 40 is definitely worth it. Really good for starters and game computers, I might get something a little faster but that's because I'm competitive like that. These processors also handle a lot of stress, but get a good cpu cooler so it lasts longer and you don't run into problems later on. Cons: You could grill on the thing! Its usually 37c idle (with a masscool heat sync and fan with no case fans installed yet). I Wish it was a dual core. I tried over clocking it once and it ran for five minutes then my computer shut itself down which usually happens when the cpu reaches 140F - 160F. I wish there were more AMD socket 939 cpu's out there. Other Thoughts: Shipping took forever (don't order it on a Sunday). For some reason I always order parts on a Sunday and I get them a week or two (sometimes 3) later. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Neavo Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 month to 1 year	8/12/2007 8:41:38 PM Fast Little Chip Pros: Its fast, cheap, and if you know what your doin, you can make it scream. Cons: it isnt totally free Other Thoughts: I dont know what people are talking about when they mention heating problems, i run it at around 25C idle, 28C full Load, thats with it overclocked to 2.7GHZ stable. I do however have an Arctic freezer on it with Arctic Silver, but still, people have it runnin 39C idle, thats high for me. Specs: 1G Dual channel Kingston Hyperx\|Ati Xpress 200 (sapphire)\| 2x X1900GT \| 3x Asus W38G Wireless. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you?

N/A Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	8/12/2007 1:14:02 PM Works Great Pros: Built a second computer with spare parts, and this worked great with my extra 939 board. Haven't tried OC'ing yet, but runs great at normal speeds. Cons: Had a couple bent pins as well, when I got it. Fixed easily using retractable pencil end to slide over pin and carefully straighten them. No excuse for bent pins though - it's annoying. Other Thoughts: AMD processors are the best if you don't have to have the newest and fastest. Intel's prices may have come down, but you still pay more for the MB's. AMD is the best bang for the buck still. 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
bigblair Tech Level: somewhat low Ownership: more than 1 year	7/24/2007 4:17:49 PM Solid Chip Pros: Been working great for a couple years now without shutting my computer off. Cons: Although cheap and reliable, might get more bang for the buck with one of the newer AMD offerings, especially since the price war. Other Thoughts: If you only want to upgrade the processor on your computer, this is a nice and reliable choice. If you are going to upgrade more than just the processor, might as well spring for one of the newer AMD chips. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

SNAKE Tech Level: somewhat high Ownership: less than 1 day This user purchased this item from Newegg	5/18/2007 1:24:17 PM I love NEW EGG!!! Pros: You can't beat this price i upgraded from an AMD Athlon XP 2700+ and it was a HUGE Difference. I mainly bought the CPU to be able to Flash my bios on my MotherBoard because it wont run the AMD 64 4000+ without the bios flash. The cpu did not come with Bent Pins so thats a plus. Cons: None love AMD and NEWEGG. Other Thoughts: Try the heatSink from THERMATAKE ORB 2 Looks awsome and keeps the CPU VERY COOL Plus it Turns Heads. NewEgg SHIPPING ROCKS!!

chemikalguy Tech Level: high Ownership: 1 day to 1 week This user purchased this item from Newegg	4/20/2007 8:38:24 AM Pain in the Rear Pros: The chip is great. It's fast, inexpensive, and works well. Cons: The CPU itself has no cons. Other Thoughts: I spent nearly an hour straightening bent pins on the CPU before I could use it. Luckily, I'm a professional computer guru, so I knew what I was doing, otherwise, it would have been returned. 6 out of 12 people found this review helpful. Did you?
