Pros: 5600+ is the low-power version of the legendary FX-62. They have the exact same performance (check tomshardware CPU chart), but 5600+ only has 89W of TDP, compared to FX-62's 125W, thus it runs significantly cooler than FX-62. Plus, 5600+ is also cheaper. Note: TDP is the maximum power a processor CONSUMES at a give clock speed and voltage. The lower the better.

Cons: None for this price

Overall Review: AMD seems to be in financial trouble now. We should support AMD to keep its competition with Intel in the processor market, which, in the end, benefit all consumers. For whatever reason, get an AMD!

Pros: Works with NEC 3520A at 16X

Cons: Only works with firmware updated to 2U5_rpc1, otherwise they won't write a single bit. Made in Taiwan and looks cheap, poorly finished - much worse than the Fuji DVD+R I bought which was made in Japan.
