Just can't go wrong with the Phenoms

AMD just can't be beat for the price vs performance comparison. This CPU just gets it weather you use it stock or unlock it. You cant go wrong.

This is my second one of these, was lucky enough to unlock the first one but not this one. That being said I don't blame the CPU, I blame the low-mid range motherboard it went into. More of a disappointment than a con so no eggs taken away.

Even though I was not able to unlock this one its still blazing fast running at stock speeds. Have not tried overclocking it but then again I really never overclock my CPU's, never felt the need to but I will unlock them any chance I get. You will not go wrong buying this one.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Bent pins right out of the box!

Good dual-core performance and reasonable price. The board it's going in doesn't easily allow unlocking the other cores so I can't comment on that outcome.

Not the best power consumption, but it's going in a homework station so it'll do.

Nine pins were bent right out of the factory sealed box. The box was in pretty good shape and the plastic carrier wasn't damaged, so someone/thing really blew it. While this isn't unusual with open-box & OEM cpus I've never seen it before with boxed units. (That's after building hundreds of systems the last 30+yrs.) Big waste of time to straighten these things.
