Great CPU for Non-Gamer 01/29/2007

This review is from: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ - Athlon 64 Orleans Single-Core 2.0 GHz Socket AM2 59W Processor - ADA3200CWBOX

Pros:

I used this for an office computer build for a client. The processor has performed flawlessly so far, and since it's not being used extensively, the CPU Heatsink/fan that comes with this product works just fine (and saves money on the total cost).

Cons:

The heatsink/fan came with pre-applied thermal paste. I would rather use my Arctic Silver, but I tried out the pre-applied paste and it actually performed remarkably well. The temperature for the CPU was generally below 30 C.

Overall Review:

The price and the value you get for the price are both amazing. This AM2 socket CPU will allow you to get a better motherboard/ram than earlier sockets. This works great for an office computer, but I personally wouldn't use this for a gaming rig.
