AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ - Athlon 64 X2 Manchester Dual-Core 2.0 GHz Socket 939 Processor - ADA3800BVBOX

Pros: If you are looking for a great processor for a great price, this is the one to get. I easily overclocked mine to 2.4 and it still runs cooler and just as fast as my roommate's FX-53 and I paid about $xxx less than he did! Mine runs about 32 degrees C idle and about 39 degrees C under full load! If you get this processor and a gig of ram, you will have absolutely no trouble running anything. I can run any game out with max graphics settings and never slow down! This is a must have a for a hardcore gamer (on a budget like me)!

Cons: NOTHING!

Overall Review: My system is as follows:
MB: Gigabyte GA-K8N Pro-SLI
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 3800+
GPU: 2 x Chaintech 6600 256MB
RAM: 2 x 512 Corsair Dual-Channel Value Select Memory

Pros: Multitasking, doing 2 things at once, or 4 things at once even.

Destroys single core in those aspects, but absolutely nothing else.

Cons: Unless you're really lucky, you're not going to get a stepping that overclocks well.

Expect 2.5GHz max out of most chips, and if you're purchasing strictly to overclock like i was, if you receive an LDBFE stepping, don't even open it, just refund it ASAP.

Overall Review: My chip was not stable at 2.6GHz no matter what, this was on a DFI Expert motherboard, i know the bios like the back of my hand, and still couldn't get core 1 to be stable passed 2.5GHz.

my stepping was an LDBFE 0623XPMW, avoid it!!!!
