Processor Runs Smooth & Stable

As a dual core handles Win XP 32 bit & Win 7 64 bit applications with ease using 3 gigs ddr2 800 Mhz. Turned on 3rd core, ran all day & played DVD movies & runs stable. Dont want to be greedy, so will wait before i try to turn on 4th core. Win 7 CPU index 6.5

Must wrap & pack CPU in center of brown paper wrapping otherwise it falls to to bottom of box & may get damaged!!! It seems that person puts CPU at bottom of box and then places brown paper wrapping on top of it.

Using Gigabyte GA_MA74GM-S2 board. ACC settings: Hybrid, Auto, Manual & turned on first 3 cores with 4th core disabled. In device manager for XP and Win 7: 3 cores listed as Phenom 2 X4 B45.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Poor packaging

fast enough for $60 i have spent on it. AM2/AM2+ compatibility. low power consumption.

A LOT OF BENT PINS! Irresponsible packaging. Never had any bad experience with newegg until yesterday - processor came loose in large box with little of filling paper. Result: badly bent pins all around perimeter; spent a hour straightening them back. Newegg looses 2 eggs for that.

only about 30% performance increase comparing to my old Athlon 64 X2 5000B, but it could be due to old am2 platform.
