Pros: This is a solid proc. 2.8GHz unlocked....got it up to 3.3GHz w/o any added volts. Price was just right, (actually even better than that). Made my mommy very happy with the increased pep this proc gave her desktop.
Cons: Gimped version of yesterday's tri-core...
Overall Review: Compare with the 240 Regor @ same price: *240 Regor uses less power than 7850 Kuma *7850 Kuma has more cache than 240 Kuma *240 Regor can benefit from AM3/DDR3 *7850 Kuma has an unlocked Multi where the 240 Regor doesn't I've easily brought 3 240 Regors up to 3.5GHz via the FSB, so it's really up to your preferences between the 2 procs. However @ stock the 7850 Kuma may take the cake @ the cost of 30w.........
