Comments: Good price and nice overclock.

I am running it at 2.64Ghz with a slight voltage increase. Temperatures are 35C idle and 45C under load.

I have a single 7800GT right now with the room for a second one eventually.

Runs prime95 for 24 hours, no problem at these settings.

Forget The Dual Core M2 Hype !

Reviewed By: Whipman on 7/1/2006

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Excellent processor at an unbelieveable price. I paid 3 times what it's selling for now about 8 months ago. Does what it's supposed to. Great performer. Forget the dual core/ M2 hype. There's not even any programs or games written for them yet! For a c-note this cpu will last you for quite a while.....

Cons: Absolutely None!

Other Thoughts: Newegg is still the best at what it does. They had this part on my doorstep in two days. Ordered on Wednesday. Received on Friday. Up and running Friday night..

Great Processor-Great Value

Reviewed By: Ashy on 2/14/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: I bought this processor a year ago when it was more than double this price. I am still playing all the latest games and having no problems. Totally reliable been running nonstop for over a year with no problems.

Cons: Not dual core. When I try to encode a DVD and play a game...well it doesn't happen. One thing at a time with this one.

Other Thoughts: If I were building a computer today I would not buy this I'd buy a dual core processor.

What a nice little proc

Reviewed By: eggs on 2/4/2007

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Great speed increase from the old 1.2 GHz Thunderbird that was wasting away in my old Antec Lanboy case. Coupled with a BIOSTAR TForce6100-939 motherboard and a stick of 512MB Pqi Turbo PC3200 RAM this proc is a big, yet affordable upgrade. Socket 939 was a much easier install than the "break yourself" socket A that AMD gave us half a decade or more ago. Retail version comes with a good heat sink and fan so do yourself a favor and save the $35 more you'll pay for an after market job and OEM processor (unless you want to overclock of course).

Cons: Doesn't have two cores. Of course, it was less than half the price of my dual core 4200+ that runs the same clock speed, so who am I to complain?

Other Thoughts: I'm running this very stably on a BIOSTAR TForce6100-939 motherboard and 512MB of Pqi Turbo PC3200 RAM. I'm upgrading to 1GB of RAM this month. Do yourself a favor and do the same.

Introduction

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 3500+ 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.
