AMD Athlon 64 3200+ - Athlon 64 Venice Single-Core 2.0 GHz Socket 939 Processor - ADA3200BPBOX

Pros: Overclocks EASILY! Running stable at 2.8GHz (311x9), 1.6vcore. Works very well with my Patriot 1GB RAM, 2-3-3-5-1T @ 2.7v. Stays VERY cool. I have a Thermalright XP-90c and the processor 27c-idle, full load-47c, all while its overclocked to 2.8GHz.

Cons: None whatsoever

Overall Review: My System:

Lite-On Combo DVD-CD
Vantec Fan Controller (6 fans)

Pros: Great cost effective processor. decent fan

Cons: really really bad packaging material. I bought 2 of them. One had a little damage to the packaging . The other had no apparent damage at all. The internal carrier (?) is made of some crumbly, fibrous material. In both cases, it caused a significant amount of debris to get onto the thermal pad on the heat sink. You have to be REALLY careful when you clean it off as the thermal pad is very soft and can easily be damaged.

Overall Review: I rate this product low due to the packaging problem. AMD should absolutely know better. The good news is both processors are working great. As long as you are super careful in cleaning the debris off the thermal pad, you will be ok. be aware.
