AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Windsor Dual-Core 2.0 GHz Socket AM2 65W ADO3800CZBOX Processor

Pros: This CPU is the F3 stepping, the other is F2 stepping. From a HW review site: The new Athlon 64 X2 6000+ is based on the 90 nm AMD64 Windsor core, and requires a Socket AM2 motherboard to support it. AMD has introduced the new F3 stepping, which allows for the faster clock speed when compared to the FX-62 and its F2 stepping. We found F3 to be more o var clo ckable as well, as we reached almost 3.3 GHz at stock cooling.

Cons: None--AMD still works for me

Pros: nice power for the price, processor runs cool on stock heatsink though i did use a far better product for the grease than the stock pad, its amd nuff said

Cons: it doesn't glow in the dark

Overall Review: it overheated my pc***ps mobo had o get a new mb went with the fox and it works great

Pros: I had this bad boy running at 3.0Ghz! Due to hot weather in summer, I had to drop it down to 2.5. Get a good motherboard for this. Recommendation: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 from Newegg. I got the CPU and Mobo in a discount combo. The HS/F was pretty good but I use a Scythe now.

Cons: None.

Overall Review: Thanks Newegg for all this great stuff!

Pros: Runs like every AMD processor I've owned solid and reliable!

Cons: None

Pros: Great cpu for the price, runs at 30 C with stock heatsink/fan under load and no overclocking. Newegg and AMD = A++.

Cons: N/A

Overall Review: I decided to go with this one rather than the more expensive 5600. I'm glad I did, I put the extra hundred into some good ram. Plus I can always get the 5600 when the price is right.

Pros: Windsor F3 stepping. Runs super cool. Excellent overclocker!

Cons: Fan that came with the stock heat appears to have a messed up bearing thus generating allot of noise.

Overall Review: Call of Juarez free! It almost feels like one did not pay for the CPU! What a steal!

Pros: Only F3 stepping Windsor with 2x512KB L2 cache. F3 Windsors are the best performing AM2 stepping to date, IMO. Default vCore is 1.18V and runs extremely cool. Oh and tell me about overclocking. I'm running this CPU on an mATX board (BIOSTAR 7050) @3.0GHz with just 1.312V. Simply amazing.

Cons: Nada

Overall Review: Got this CPU with Call of Juarez game bundle for mere $65. Feel like I almost got this CPU for free. Haha.

Pros: This CPU runs very cool at stock settings. Its runs average 22C idle and 35C under load using stock HSF.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: Bought this to use with my recent purchase of a BioStar TF560 A2+. Hoping I can get to to overclock to 3ghz like the reviews I've seen with stock HSF.
