Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

Pros: This is more of i comment i dont own a 5000 i have a 4200, i can overclock my 4200 to 2.8 ghz 30C stable and peaks of 3.0 ghz, everything about the these two CPU's are the same except the stock core speed and the price, so save about 250 dollars and get a 4200 with some liquid cooling, either way AMD Rocks.

Cons: stated above

Pros: Multitasking is a big plus, no more waiting for programs to load before opening others (upgrade from socket A)

Cons: seems to be slower than expected when running in a 32 bit invironment.

Other Thoughts: Game testing still to come, works great with the Asus m2n32-sli deluxe and corsair xmsc4 pc6400 2GB

Pros: 13x multiplier makes for insane OCing, very fast at stock speeds, dual core CPU.

Cons: Odd multiplier makes for strange memory ratio. Hasn't been a problem for me though. Price gouging going on here, too.

Other Thoughts: Overclocks like a demon on my MSI K9A Plat. I bought mine on Craigslist for next to nothing :D
