Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Bought this back in December. Very fast. Moved up from a 3500+. Idles at 35C, which isn't bad on the stock cooler in a room that badly needs some A/C.
Cons: With a clock speed of 2600, this means that it has an odd numbered multiplier of 13. Giving it a memory divider of 6.5 (13 divided by two), but since 6.5 can't be used as a divider, it rounds up to 7. So 2600 divided by 7 = 373 Mhz, or 743 Mhz DDR. So your memory ends up being slightly underclocked instead of running @ 800 Mhz.
Other Thoughts: Even though the underclocked memory doesn't falter your speed, you can easily overclock to 2.8 GHz, bringing your memory back to DDR2-800. Dual-Core Optimizer and latest drivers are a must.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: This is a good CPU. It runs very cool and quick. Handles everyday load as well as CPU intensive gaming. Stock heatsink isn't as bad as most make it out to be but if you're going to be overclocking, I def. recommend getting a different one.

It can be overclocked to a nice extent as well.
Cons: Other models(AMD and Intel) out there that are better for not too much more money.
Other Thoughts: If you get this CPU, make sure to download the AMD dual core optimizer off AMD's site and make sure you install the Cool and Quiet drivers;they will make the processor run 100% more efficient. With Cool and Quiet, the optimizer, and 5 fans(havn't gone liquid yet), under heavy load this CPU hasn't gone above 40deg Celcius yet. It takes everything I throw at it and just keeps on trucking.

Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Flawless performance. Though I don't get the full benefits from a dual core running Windows XP Pro, I will when Vista doesn't actually suck. So in a sense, upgrading to Vista will be like getting a whole new computer since I'll be running true 64 bit. haha
Cons: Not getting to grasp the full potential of my CPU :(

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 5000+ 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.
