Rating + 5 $75 (and shipping too) is worth it


Pros: overclockable, stable, runs cool with the stock cooler. fast, efficient, overall awesome little piece of hardware.

Cons: not very easy to overclock with the biostar n4slia9 board. other than that? none whatsoever

Other Thoughts: The 2.2ghz is now running at 2.73 ghz on the board mentioned in the cons. that's a setting of 247 with a multiplier of 11. The board wont let me set the clock any higher, I keep getting an overclock warning and it forces the clock back to 2.2ghz. So I almost have a 2.8

Pros: A good solid CPU. Very good performance for a single core. Has a 1Mb L2 Cache which is big plus on certain apps. Pretty much last of the 939 socket 90nm chips.

Cons: More expensive than it should be for an end of life product. A little hot.

Other Thoughts: Good CPU fpr cheap solid system which will run VISTA

Rating + 5 Great proc


Pros: For a budget gaming build, this is absolutely great. I remember this processor being $250 a couple of years ago. San Diego is the better core (1MB L2 shows a difference).

Cons: None. It is what it is. Dual cores are the "in" thing now, but for a gaming PC on a budget, this is a great processor.

Other Thoughts: I OC'd up to 2.4GHz with relative ease. If I had better than value RAM in there I could get it well above 2.8GHz.

Rating + 5 3700 = awesome


Pros: I've had this proc now for over a year and it pwns. As if it isn't stressed enough by other people; buy a good power supply and motherboard so you can overclock this bad boy. It really is worth spending the xtra for expandability. If you aren't going dual core you should seriously consider this proc. If newegg doesn't have it get it somewhere's else (hint newegg: GET IT!)

Cons: I've heard that lower L2 cache procs can overclock to higher speeds. But really, when you overclock this only to 2.4 ghz im sure it pwns any 3200+ overclocked to 2.6ghz.

Other Thoughts: I wasn't sure about what another poster said about it likes to be overclocked, but I recently went from AGP to PCI-e (also from ATI to Nvidia) and I bought an ABIT AN8-32X (cheap, stable, full sli mobo) and with this I got nTune (which is the awesomest program ever for lazy overclockers). So, I'm monitoring my stock clocks with NV monitor and I notice that when I'm at stock my processor is yellow but when I'm overclocked 10-15% it is green. I also noticed that when I overclocked my proc and my 7800gt I never dropped below 100fps in counter-strike: source (iceworld with 5 other people). Before in when it got a little crazy I'd drop to 75 fps so it is a very noticable boost for me. For now on I'm leaving it overclocked 10% during the day for the sheer resonsiveness you wouldn't think the difference is noticable but it is.

Rating + 5 Overclock it!


Pros: Fast, cheap, runs cool. 1MB of cache. Overclocks very well. I've managed to get 230MHz FSB (2.5GHz) out of this baby at stock voltage.

Cons: Out of stock these days. Not really that fast without overclocking (My P4 2.8GHz Dell @ work seems quicker). Not really a con unless your system doesn't support overclocking.

Other Thoughts: Overclock it! It is much faster and just as stable at 10%-15% OC. It seems to prefer being overclocked as the apparent speed jumps drastically w/ just 5% OC. It'll go past 2.7GHz with the right hardware

Pros: This processor is very nice for the price. I had NO problems at all with it and it's worth every last penny!

Cons: NONE AT ALL other then the fan could be better. You have to be extremely careful when seating the heat sink and then fastening it down. No room for error here.

Other Thoughts: Newegg sells yet another great product and saves you big bucks for shopping with them! Stay Newegg and you can't go wrong!

Pros: as 'they' say...

Fast, cheap, 1MB cache, wonderfully overclockable...

Cons: Out of stock as of 2/28/07? Feel sorry for you...

Other Thoughts: This processor is an excellent value considering the first thing I did was set crank it up from 2.2 to 2.4Ghz with no increase in vcore, Prime95 says its happy...of course, when I bought it the 3700+ was a lot cheaper than the 4000+...

Rating + 5 Awesome


Pros: Outstanding performance at an unbeatable price.
Upgrading from an Athlon XP 2800+ system this cpu dramatically drops application load times and offers lightning fast boot times. Coupled with 7800GT this system runs BF2142 at max detail with out even breaking a sweat.
Overclocks 200+ MHz on stock cooling, without even touching the core voltage.
Just an all around spectacular processor. Not only is it a bargain but it saves the expense of purchasing new DDR2 Ram. If your upgrading from a DDR system like I was, this is a welcomed attribute.

Cons: Theres not enough to go around due to AMD's decision to use the the AM2 socket.

Other Thoughts: System:

Athlon 3700+ San Diego @ 2.4GHz

Asus A8N-E

eVGA Geforce 7800GT(an absolute steal if you get the recertified package)

2GB Corsair TwinX

560W Silverstone SST-ST56ZF PSU.

Rating + 5 Fantastic buy, Very fast


Pros: Reasonable price and very reliable, receoved in three days, runs extremely cool

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I wanted to move up from my old 754 so I went with the 939 because of the bargain pricing. I am very satisfied with this 939 mounted on a MSI motherboard with 2 gig, 256mb dual DVI video card. The performance is great. I use this for video assembly that are used for product presentations and during the compiling process my other machine with a Pentium D would run very hot, it would go to 53C even though it has a huge Gigabyte heat pipe finned cooler and fan. I cannot believe the difference; I tested the new system with Sandra for 9 straight days running 24/7 and not once did the temperature exceed 40C. I am running this in a Antec LanBoy case with the Gigabyte SC Ball CPU Cooler. Great value for the money!!!! now running at a maximum of

I have reached stable overclocks near 2.9ghz on the stock fan and heatsink, with only very small increases in heat. idle went from 32C to 34C when i went from 2.35 to 2.8. great proc, but dont get it now, to old.

Rating + 5 Great bang for buck!


Pros: Bought this to replace a 3000+ Winchester that was going into another system. Off the back I OC'd it to 2500 on stock air and voltage. From what I understand this isn't a SanDiego core but a disabled Toledo but that really doesn't bother me much as long as it performs. The 1MB 2nd lvl cache is nice and I've noticed a nice jump in performance especially when I'm reencoding DVD files with the same mobo I was using the 3000 with.

Cons: None really except the day after I bought this the price dropped almost 20% but thats the way these things sometimes roll and it's worth every penny I paid for it.

Other Thoughts: I wish there was a way to reenable the 2nd core on this guy.

Finally got it running stable at 2.8 but decided to lower it to 2.75 to hit that sweet spot so hypertransport can still run at 1000 mhz. Had to use ram divider. Whats more amazing was that I was using stock heatsink. it was around 34 degree idle and goes up to 45 degree on load.

Cons: Only con was that it was a single core.

Rating + 5 happy happy, joy joy


Pros: The same kernel compiled in 2/3 the time it took my XP Barton with similar memory (though not dual channel) and the same core clock speed, in pure 32-bit mode. And it runs so much cooler, I want to build 4 more of these computers just to save power... but the time saved would be better still. All my people are waiting for PIII's with PC133 and PC100 to cope with the workload...

Cons: Huh?

Other Thoughts: Socket 939 seems to be going out like 478, so the necessary motherboard (and thus memory as well) won't be entirely upgrade-friendly... but PC3200 is so cheap now and this generation of chip suits me so well, I don't care. Only virtualization support could make me happier.

Rating + 5 Best value....


Pros: I took about a week comparing all the specs of the Athlon 64 processors, this was the easiest to decide, it overclocks nicely, is a solid 64bit processor, and the difference in this and the rest of the athlon processors doesn't justify the price difference! Check out the specs and you will see!

Cons: The Heatsink and fan were a bear to get on! The directions suck! a little patience and a lot of force gets it done, do the opposite side from the locking lever first! Shipping on this order was way sad, by everyones count it was over 4 days! Pay the extra get the 2 day then you might get it in 3!

Other Thoughts: I got this as part of a combo deal with the Biostar 6100-M9 mobo. a very easy install apart from the heatsink and fan, it runs great, and instantly OC'd to 2.44ghz on stock cooling with temp staying at 36c!

Pros: Runs Cool
Great Price

Cons: Plastic clasp on the heat sink feels cheap and flimsy

Other Thoughts: I was torn between this and the 3800+ Venice core. This one was cheaper and after some research, I found that the San Diego chips outperformed the Venice chips of the same rating by about 10%, so this was a no brainer. Now my machine runs faster, smoother, and the exhaust fans blow out cool air now, instead of hot air. It was a win all the way around.

Pros: This processor (stock speed) kills my AMD 2500+ Barton overclocked on 2.4GHz easy. It runs anything I throw at it. Stock cooling is dead quiet and it holds CPU below 50c under heavy load.
This processor is highly overclockable, so far I've got it to work on 2.8GHz, but I've heard that it can go over 3GHz, just needs better cooling which is my next step.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Cheap, nice upgrade which you wont regret.
1MB cache just spices up already nice processor.
I've got 40fps increase in CSS on stock speed.

Pros: Paid only $xx for it, 1MB L2 cache, 2.2GHz (just specs, duh) and runs well. Idle temps around 32-34C

Cons: None, as far as the processor goes.

Other Thoughts: I bought this as a cheap, quick upgrade from a 3000+, I haven't OC'ed it yet, but plan on doing so sometime, just to see what I can get. Heard of peeps hitting 2.7GHz+ on air cooling with this, I did have a problem with my mobo and this chip, had to flash the BIOS a couple times so it'd recognize (MSI can't get their stuff together, if you use the update util, you probably won't have the newest version BIOS, I had 3.3, while 3.4, 9.2, 9.4 never showed up to flash... MSI's fault though not AMD)

Rating + 4 Great CPU, mediocre HSF


Pros: AMD!

Cons: CPU is great, but the HSF is somewhat hard to install, as it takes a fair amount of force to attach or remove the clip, and the locking lever also takes surprising force, making you wonder if you're doing something wrong and might break it.

Maybe I have an aggressive retainer on my mobo, but it's haed to excuse the fact that the screwdriver push tab BROKE OFF while installing. Luckily the clip's shape caught the screwdriver before it ripped into the board's traces.

Other Thoughts: The 1st all-new computer I built used an AMD 586, and I've been using AMD ever since.
If I were to build this system again though, I'd just get the CPU and choose a separate HSF.

Pros: I don't want to speak so well of this CPU/Heatsink combo that they run out of it before I can order several more for myself. I think it's the best processor ever made for the money.

Runs very cool and fast, very easy to install, if you can tie your own shoe laces you'll find this installs just as easily.

Excelent product and recieved in less than 3 days via standard UPS. This is the newer v6 unit, I got the older v4, and there is no difference other than this one runs a tad cooler, but my v4 runs at 32c idle & 36c load on stock air.

This v6 is lower priced than v4 because they made more of these and passed on the savings.

Cons: AMD should continue the socket 939, in the real world there is no better socket.

Other Thoughts: I switched to NewEgg and I'm very happy with their service.

Online retail is the very best way to get any of your items.

Rating + 4 Sticky heatsink


Pros: Might be a good/fast processor considering the L2 size.

Cons: The Abit AN8 32x board died after the first few hours and decided to RMA the next day after work. but then i removed the heatsink of the CPU and... the CPU came out with it, stuck onto the heatsink, with the original stock thermal paste that was on!!!! I've been building systems since the mid 1990's but never seen such thing! I did not pull hard or break/bent any pins.. it was just a perfect processor stuck onto the sink as if i'd used superglue! So i decided to get my refund on the bad board and strange CPU.

Other Thoughts: The CPU had a 2005 date (ccbwe 0549 wpmw). I assume the thermal paste was same age and that's why it dried out/stuck. Just make sure you'll wipe out the original thermal paste and use good paste so that you dont get same issue. you have been warned! I'll still buy CPUs, cables and other stuff you cant find cheaply in stores from newegg. I wish they would still carry socket A processors...

Other Thoughts: For $xxx (after rebate on vc), I got this chip, BFM 7600GT, Abit MB. Upgrading from P4 2.6 OC to 3.0 and Radeon 9700. 3dmark score tripled, frame rate in FS2004 Doubled, FSX is not a slide show. OC to 2610MHZ on stock cooling/voltage @38C. Will push it harder soon...

Rating + 3 Good for stock speeds


Pros: Runs well at stock speeds. Stays fairly cool,and seems fairly snappy compaired to my old 2400mobile XP.

Cons: Purchased this with expectations of at least 2.8GHz,but it needed to many volts to run that high,therefore running to hott. The latest chips steppings are CCBWE,and are late 2005 chips. I was told they are the worst OC'ers for a SanDeigo chip. :(

Other Thoughts: I wish I would have purchased a Conroe instead of this,I just didn't want to buy new ram. O'well maybe later this year. Thanks Newegg for speedy deleivery. thumbs up.

Rating + 4 2nd best but great choice


Pros: I GOT THIS CPU BACK IN SEP.2006 AND IT HAS WORKED GREAT FOR ME. IT WAS MY 2ND CHOICE IN AN AMD CPU MY 1ST CHOICE WAS THE 4000+ MAINLLY BECAUSE OF THE 1MB CATCH BUT SEEING THAT THE 3700+ HAD THE SAME I FELL BACK TO IT BECAUSE OF MY CASH ON HAND AT THE TIME. ALSO NEWEGG HAS THE BEST MOST ALSOME PRICES ON CPU'S PERIOD. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS CPU THIS IS MY FIRST COMPLETE COMPUTER BUILD AND NEWEGG AND AMD MADE EVERYTHING WORK OUT PERFECT HAD NO PROBLEM WHAT SO EVER. HAVE EX.SERISE CASE 2 512MB GEIL MEM. MSI MB SEGATE 120MB HD ATA AN LG DVD BURNER WITH LITE SCRIBE AND A RADION X1300PRO VIDEO CARD. EVERYTHING WORKS AND CAME TOGETHER FINE. THE CPU NEVER REALLY GETS THAT HOT ONLY 28'C TO 42'C AND ALL MY SOFTWARE AND GAME RUN JUST FINE I'M SOO HAPPY YOU JUST DON'T KNOW....

Cons: NO CONS IT ARRIVED ON TIME WITH NO DAMAGE IN PERFECT CONDITION CAN YOU BEAT THAT I'M JUST HAPPY!!

Other Thoughts: FOR THOSE OTHERS OUT THERE WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING A CHOISE IN A CPU LET THAT BE YOUR LONGEST THOUGHT BEFORE YOU DECIDE.

Rating + 5 A Mega Deal


Pros: AMD continues to bring the power at a reasonable price-point. The gig of cache this CPU has makes it an exceptional performer.

Cons: CPU/Fan arrived with internal packaging scrambled (that's what "Brown" did for me), with the fan and cpu rattling around inside the factory-sealed box.

Other Thoughts: In spite of the "tender handling" noted above, the CPU is performing flawlessly. More testimony to the ruggedness of this CPU. Great pricing from NewEgg: sweet.
