Rating + 5 Great Overclocker


Pros: I couldn’t clock it high enough for it to fail, although everything else around it got a little flakey. If you have the Motherboard and Bios to keep your memory and busses running correctly, then this is a great RETAIL processor; but then, all the AMD retail CPUs will run as high as your system will let them go. At any speed I could achieve, the thing ran cool as a cucumber. My dual-Opteron 242’s system has nine case-fans and two processor fans but still runs way too hot. The new AMD Sempron 64 3000+ Palermo 1.8GHz system runs cool with two case-fans and the processor fan, core temp just bumps up a bit from nominal to full-load.

Rating + 4 good cpu


Pros: excellent price. does well in hot areas (a downfall of the athlon xp 3000+ that it replaced, as the cooling tower in our bldg. breaks down regularly). it does what it's supposed to.

Cons: socket 754 so no dual channel, yet for this price, it's an ok trade-off.

Rating + 4 Overall good product


Pros: Good processor for its range, fast with windows xp and without any problems whatsoever.

Cons: the heat sink isn't doing its job very well and it's keeping processor at 53 degrees when idle

Other Thoughts: CPU itself is fast and reliable but make sure you either buy other type of compound grease for the heat sink and the fan or another heatsink and fan all together

Rating + 5 Great Processor


Pros: I have had this processor for over 2 years and it is an EXCELLENT processor, it always stays cool, and even though it is out of date it plays every game i have ever tried to play on it(such as Oblivion and Dark Messiah). It is well worth the money if you dont have alot of money to spend.

Cons: old

Other Thoughts: I have never overclocked it myself, but i hear it overclocks very well.

Pros: Great price for a retail CPU with approved heat sink and fan. Used ths cpu along with the MSI K8MM3-V board to replace a dead socket A motherboard (1600 XP)unit. Within an hour I was up and running again. I prefer retail CPU units since the right fan is there and minimizes question if a warranty matter should arise, although Ive never had a CPU fail by itself

Pros: upgraded office 486. MSAccess reports of 1 minute plus now take 12sec minus.
Have AMD Tbred 3000+ at home. Runs ambient+28c. This one is faster and runs ambient+ 5 to 18c max.

Pros: Great performance! Needed a cheap system for a friend, so i bought a combo with this cpu and a gigabyte mobo, and i was shocked! It ran as good if not better than my personal system which cost three times as what i spent on this system. Not into overclocking, so i can't say anything about that subject, but for the money, this cpu runs great out of the box.

Rating + 4 Gentleman... quiet your engines


Pros: Price,Shipping was great (even with UPS). People always say that it installs easy, well, that's based on your heatsink removal, not installation. They all install easilly, it's removing them that can kill you. Read below to see what I mean.

Cons: The stock heatsink and fan may be adequate but seems junky to me. I couldn't get the fan to even fire up. I stArted the machine, didn't hear the fan kick up and yanked the cord out of the power supply ASAP. Checked the fan out, dead. LAME! Used hs/fan that was already in the machine before this cpu. LOW CACHE size hurts it.

Other Thoughts: Bought this to replace a Sempron 3000 that I damaged in my girlfriend's COMPAq P0S. Tried to remove stock hs/fan to clean it and put some arctic silver on it. When I pulled out the hs/fan, it yanked the cpu out of the socket and bent more pins than I care to go cross-eyed fixing. The low cache hurts this unit. Her PCMark04 score with 1gb pc3200 and a 64mb 8500 Radeon card was 3222. Mine on my Athlon 3700+ (single core) with 2gb PC3200 and a 1900XT was over 7k. The 1mb L2 cache on my cpu helped me double her bench since this cpu only has 128k on the street named L2. Go for at least 256k.

Pros: Man oh man, my first athlon and even though it is of the budget persuasion, I could not be more impressed. Stuck in a Shuttle case with only five twelve ram and integrated graphics, this thing can stream 720p video smoothly. Noticeably faster than my 3.2ghz celeron, and it feels just as fast as my pentium d 940 @ 3.9ghz in day to day tasks, and I am not even kidding.

Cons: that I did not try AMD sooner.

Other Thoughts: for the money, you absolutely cannot get a better processor.

Rating + 5 Excellent Processor


Pros: Great performance for the price especially when paired with a large amount of RAM and a decent video card

Cons: nothing

Other Thoughts: I've had this chip for 4 months now and everything is just great! Just because this is a cheap processor doesn't mean it will suck with gaming. Make sure you have at least a gig of ram and a good video card. That is all you need. So if you're on a big budget, I really recommend this. Save the money you didn't spend on a better processor for ram/ a video card.

Rating + 5 The little processor that could!!!


Pros: The little processor that could! I bought this processor to test a Biostar TForce 6100 board that I bought earlier (opened box special came with everything but the rear panel plate). Processor runs great, overclocked to 2.2 easily with minimal change in heat. It runs at 41C on stock heatsink and fan. Compared to my Northwood 2.6 it ran Vista w/o any noticeable difference.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Be sure to do some research when purchasing processors, New Egg has two variations of this processor this one (SDA3000BXBOX) only has 128 L2 cache, the latter version named 3100+ (SDA3100CVBOX) has 256 L2 cache for the same price.

Other Thoughts: I don't use the onboard Video, so no comment other than it worked OK during Setup and Installs. I have another EPoX board system about 4 yrs. old it has been letter Perfect.

Pros: Cheap stable CPU. Easily and robustly overclocked on the right board.Rips DVDs and music CDs quickly.

Cons: Low onboard cache rears its ugly head when when more difficult tasks are attemted. Not as bad as Celerons but not a whole lot better either.

Other Thoughts: Mated to a Biostar NV board with 512 corsair value RAM. The MB I think is very good. Built this machine about 6 months ago and it is rock steady. If you can get it, I highly reccommend upgrading Windows XP to the unofficial but excellent SP3 UWIN Installer Edition.

Pros: Regardless of personal opinions the numbers speak for themselves, it is a excellent budget processor!! Weather you are building it for a budget pc, student, customer, or what have you it is a great processor with plenty of power for the everyday user. It’s AMD!! What more is there to say. I see negative comments about how it doesn’t compare to certain athlons and dual cores….. Um Hello that’s why they are totally different class processors, you don’t buy a mustang thinking it’s a Porche sure they are both powerful cars but they are two different class vehicles. Know what you are buying and don’t try to turn water into wine on over clocking

Cons: No cons, as I said before you can’t downgrade it against a processor that’s not in it’s class

Other Thoughts: Great buy!

Pros: i burned out my pent. 2.6ghz processor and was forced to get an avg replacement for my other amd board. this isnt the fastest chip by any means, but it is easy to overclock as i had it up to 2.4ghz with just the bios on my motherboard. i took it back to 2ghz because it was running hot, but i have some extra cooling on the way, so we'll see what happens.

Cons: older chipset and probably will soon be obsolete with some of the 939's fading with the new 940 on the shelves.

Pros: It's an AMD, 64 bit, easy installation, cost

Cons: The green packaging material that holds everything together in the processor box was all broken up. There was green dust all over the heatsink, Luckily the proc was in a plastic container. Either AMD needs sturdier packaging or UPS needs to stop throwing people's packages around.

Other Thoughts: Not as big of a boost in speed as I had hoped coming from an athlon xp 2000+. Applications open slightly faster and BF2 runs a little smoother but not enough to justify a new mobo and proc. I kind of wish that I had saved for an athlon 64. But thats just me. Maybe my old RAM and hard drive are bottlenecking it.

Pros: As a moderate gamer I found that this CPU got the job done well. Being 64 bit and an AMD really gives this quite the edge in gamming over alot of intel processors although it is a Sempron. Not only does this CPU run great it stays nice and cool. I've have never gotten above 31 degrees on this thing even though i have it overclocked to 2.2GHz (245 FSB).

Cons: 128KB cache and the price has gone up a bit since I first got it

Other Thoughts: Don't let the 128K cache scare you out of getting this CPU. Being a cheap 64bit CPU really makes up for it.

Rating + 5 FANTASTIC low bucks OCer


Pros: I have 3 of these BX Palermo core CPUs (a 3000 and 2 3100s). The all run 24/7/365 @ 100% CPU.
Easy OC. Price / performance on these is VERY impressive. The S64-3000 is in a BioStar K8NHA Grand nforce3 250Gb chipset and runs @ 2.25GHz, vcore 1.4v, stock cooler!
In my apps the smaller L2 Cache doesn't make much difference compared to the 3100s.
One of the 3100s in an ECS NFORCE3-A mobo. Also @ 2.25GHz, vcore 1.42v, stock cooler!
The other 3100 is in an EPox 8KDA3J mobo running @ 2.58GHz, vcore 1.6v, big cooler required, recommend Arctic Cooling ACFZP64 Freezer 64 Pro if you're gonna bump vcore up at all.

Cons: IF your mobo will go over 250FSB then these will run reliably up to about 2.5~2.6GHz but require a higher vcore and that drives the temps way up requiring a much bigger cooler. Some apps might be sensitive to the small (128K) L2 cache but mine only show a very slight drop off compared to the 256K cached 3100.

Other Thoughts: On my next 'number cruncher' build I'm gonna try the 10x multiplier version of these fantastic chips (3300 or 3400). I expect 2.5GHz on stock vcore and stock cooler.

Rating + 5 Hesitate on this deal is NOT AN OPTION! Have been using for 1 whole month


Pros: Budget processor price but EPIC performance!!! This 3000+ really gives you the processing power you need for a very affordable price. Here are some techinical details. My overclocking specs: 1.8ghz to 2.52ghz. FSB: 280mhz, HTT Multiplier set to 3x. 2x512mb Patriot 2.5 CAS value rams running at divider of ddr166. Voltage bumped to 1.52V. Running all this with an ASUS K8N with a Geforce 6600gt 128mb.

Temps: 31C idle, 38C loaded(ran CCE for hours)

My 2800+(see "other thoughts") runs a bit hotter and slower. 41C idle, 53C loaded. Entire computer is hot... bad ventilation.

Cons: THis maybe be my luck of the draw that I believe i have a faulty chip but still useable. Computer bluescreens everytime i restart the computer during windows boot. I have RMA'ed my mobo 3x testing all my other peripherals.

Other Thoughts: Running this computer with a 400W Thermaltake PSU, 2 optical drives, 3 IDE harddrives, a PCI IDE controller, and power on 24/7.

It takes me about 10 hrs to do a 8gb dvd encode using a 6 pass CCE method with DVD-RB on a 2.4ghz P4. Now it takes me about 7 hrs to encode. It's simply brilliant!

I also have a 2800+ on ABIT nv8 and it's rocking too. My OC on that is not even CLOSE to this chip. the 9x multiplier on the 3000+ really gives you that advantage!

Final Thoughts: If you want to upgrade your system to a very good performaning Gaming machine, try this:
Biostar 6100 (the one that everyone got and it looks YELLOW)
Geforce 6600GT 128mb
and this chip.

ALL of this can be bought from newegg and can be had for less than 250 total. I think i'll buy this chip and that board so i can have a back up of parts. These 754s are being phased out so get your hands on these budget upgrades before we're all forced to spend hundreds on just cpu/mobo alone.

I LOVE SEMPRONS!! 64bit

Pros: Price / Performance ratio especially when in a cheap nForce 3-250(Gb) chipset board. Drop it in, set FSB to 250, use PC3200 and set BIOS to use /11 divider. You've now got 2.25GHz CPU with mem at DDR409, HT at 1GHz. Stock CPU voltage and stock cooler no problem.

Cons: Uhhh... hmmm, well a couple apps like the larger cache of the otherwise identical 3100+ and run a couple/few % better on the 3100+.

Other Thoughts: Makes for a great little background number crunching machine. Mine runs 24/7/365 with CPU at 2.25GHz and pegged at 100% usage. Been running now since about 2/16 but I've got same core, 3100+ in another nForce 3 board that's been at same speed, same load, same stock cooler since October 31st of 2005 w/o problems.

Pros: Amazing price overclocked to 256x9 on a Biostar TFORCE6100 which makes her runnin 2.3ghz. Benchmarked this processor blows away a Pentium 4 3.6GHZ, which cost's around 400$. This card idles 29c and loads at 43c

Cons: NONE

Pros: Runs much cooler than my old XP2100+. First time buying processor in a box. AMD fan is quiet. Heatsink came with grease already printed on it. Nice kit - worth the extra $$ over OEM processor.

Cons: None so far.

Rating + 5 Great value


Pros: Value and performance.

Cons: I'm not one to list features it does not have as cons. If you are buying this, then you know what you are getting!

Maybe the one con would be the stock heatsink/fan. Most bundled w/ retail have been average in my experience. Upgrading that to something more efficient and quiet is easy enough though...

Other Thoughts: This processor is a great value. Paired with a Biostar tforce6100, you even get 10 bucks off! Plus with that board I was able to easily overclock this thing to 2.2ghz without pushing my system at all. Couldn't be happier.
