Pros: Dual-core goodness at 65 watts. This CPU might not be able keep up with the latest Core 2 Duos, but I think its price/performance/watt ratio is still competitive. And don't get me wrong, this thing is no slouch. It will have plenty of horsepower for even your high-end desktop.

Cons: There are faster processors out there for not much more cash.

Overall Review: The 35W and 65W Athlon 64 x2 processors are perfect for a small, quiet desktop or HTPC system. According to Tom's Hardware, the Athlons still consume less power than the latest Intel Core 2 Duos, despite the increased efficiency of the latter compared to Intel's previous CPU generations.
