Awesome
Pros: Great heatsink, great price, awesome performance, and on top of that there was a rebate.
Cons: No cons from me at all.
Overall Review: Works very well with my system and i will be buying two more just as soon as i can, and i will continue buying these sticks until i need no more.
Asrock, pain in the **
Pros: Lots of features that i was looking for. 7.1 Audio, sataII, four channels of ram, extended AM2 support, and onboard video.
Cons: Did not come with updated bios for the AMD 5400. Would have been a real pain if i did not have another amd 4200 laying around which was compatible.
Overall Review: I hate having to put extended amounts of time into trivial stuff like updating a bios. I hate doing that s***. I have zero patients dealing with small stuff like that, that should already be updated.
Athlon
Pros: I use this for serious gaming and general cpu use and this thing smokes. I have zero patients for computer errors and lag and i have gotten none from this cpu.
Cons: Nadda.
Overall Review: Did NOT have any pins bent nor was it in any way difficult to get up and running.
