Pros: Great processor for gaming. I've run both FlightSimulator X (on ultra-high), and had Steam (MW2) running at the same time, coupled with a 500MB download of an application and not once with the CORE's go over 10%. Granted, the download is external to the locally running applications but nonetheless the download itself needs to compete for processor time. Well I use compete loosely because there's no competition. Its as if my laptop was saying "Is that all you have"! ~~ a must buy!

Cons: Absolutely none.

Overall Review: Great price for a superbly built processor. The proc, without question, will satisfy the gaming enthusiast, number cruncher, or designer/architect (e.g., Flash, AutoCAD, etc.) ..
