Pros: Fast. Still fairly inexpensive.

Cons: Not the latest processor. Virtualization Technology Support disabled.

Overall Review: The price on this processor is rising every week. Better buy one now before the price hits $200. As for heat issues, mine runs cool using a decent heatsink and AS 5.

Pros: Works much better than Silicone/Zinc based thermal grease.

Cons: Expensive.

Overall Review: I recommend following the instructions on the AS website for applying to dual-core CPU's. You'll use less, and it seems to work better than covering the entire CPU.

Pros: Great performance for the price. Nearly 3x faster than a card I spent $xxx only 2 years ago. Doesn't reuwire a lot of power. Gets its power from the PCI-E slot.

Cons: Not a 79xx.
