Powerful performer, easy upgrade
- Pros: - Superior Venice Core
- Under three hundred dollars
- Excellent thermal management
- No BIOS update needed (NF3)
- Compliments Low Latency RAM
- Twelve X Multiplier
- Almost guaranteed 200Mhz overclock
- Cons: - Almost $XXX
- High Wattage Requirement
- Single Core
- Old mobos may need a BIOS flash
- Overclock headroom less than slower models
- Other Thoughts: Compared to a winchester core 3000+, this 3800+ venice core is noticeably more robust. Using the same heat pipe from Arctic Cooler (recommended) the CPU temps are manageable at max load 55c with near silent operation. Idle temps are not relevant if you use AMD's Cool-N-Quiet, mine is idling at 38c after one hour of heavy gaming. One yardstick of interest is BF2 used to take up to 45 seconds to exit and return control to the OS, very annoying. With the 3800+ that time has dropped to no more than 20 seconds. Load times have quickened, but erratically, depending on which server it connects.
sweet!
- Pros: runs cool, have 1GBx2 OCZ DDR 500, DFI Expert, 2 7800gt's with everything overclocked hit 2.8 on the cpu stabel. 3.0(not stable... yet. all air cooled with golden orb cooler.
- Cons: none yet.
- Other Thoughts: worth every penny...

Go with Intel
- Pros: While the processor lasted in my system, I would have rated it at least a 4, maybe even a 5. It is speedy, handled photo editing well and even did the video editing without problems. After 1.5 years, it just up and died. I didn't have any fancy overclocking going on and the temps never exceeded 41°C.
- Cons: Died without warning after 1.5 years. I still have a Dell with an Intel running after 5 years of almost continuous use. RMA by AMD is going to take about 2 weeks if they "pass it on visual inspection." I want to tell them to keep the thing but I would have a heck of a time getting a new system together in time to finish my photo stuff and get all of my software re-installed.
- Other Thoughts: I will be going back to Intel. If reliability is important to you, stick with Intel. I have yet to have a problem with any of my Intel systems.
- Pros: I loved this processor, worked like a charm before my mobo died. I've ordered it's cousin the Dual core 4800+ that's .1ghz faster for my rebuild which i'm slowly saving the money for. AMD has always been fantastic :)
- Cons: Can't use my old one!
Great Value!
- Pros: Great value and is a world of difference upgrading from an Athlon 1.4 oc'd to 1.8
- Cons: I think it is the mobo combo and overclocking software, but it doesn't like to be overclocked with my ASUS A8N5X Socket 939.
- Other Thoughts: On a side note the mobo automatically will control CPU performance based upon need.

Highlights
 |
AMD64 Technology
AMD64 technology is designed to enable simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. With Direct Connect Architecture, AMD64 processors address and help eliminate the real challenges and bottlenecks of system architectures because everything is directly connected to the central processing unit.
|
 |
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. HyperTransport Technology in the Athlon 64 3800+ Socket 939 processor enables the speed of system bus up to 2000MHz and delivers up to 8GB/s I/O bandwidth and up to 14.4GB/s processor-to-system bandwidth.

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.
|
 |
Enhanced Virus Protection
All AMD processors equipped with AMD64 technology are Enhanced Virus Protection-enabled. Enhanced virus protection acts as a preventative measure causing viruses to be localized, short-lived, and non-contagious, eventually being flushed from system memory.
