Pros: Works fine, I use it for gaming and don't see any slowdown.

Cons: Price.

Overall Review: I'm not sure what happened to DDR2 RAM, but the price has basically doubled. At this stage the price for 4 Gigs of ram is the same as a good graphics card. Be sure to buy a motherboard that uses DDR3. The price will only go down while the price of DDR2 is doomed to only go up.

Pros: Cheap, good enough

Cons: Intel

Overall Review: I bought this for a gaming box I was building on a budget. While this processor is not as good as probably what I should be using, for it's price it's pretty impressive. Paired it up with a pretty good graphics card and it was able to run Crysis, albeit at only about 30 frames per second.
