Advantages: A worthy cheaper rival to Pentium 4 Disadvantages: The AMD heatsink and fan is not good enough, and hard to attach to the motherboard
...The AMD XP3200+ is currently AMDs only processor capable of running on 400Mhz FSB motherboards without the need for overclocking, the processor is a socket A and you will need a compatible motherboard .
Processors running on higher FSB (front side bus) speeds tend to get a better response when processing information, this is a big plus to consider when looking to upgrade to a AMD XP3200+ processor for your computer system.
On most of todays socket A motherboards you will see that the processor frequency can be set at three different levels 133 for running 266mhzprocessors, 166 for running 333mhzprocessors and 200 for 400mhzprocessors, this is a must have piece of information that you will need to know especially when looking to purchase a processor, this is usually contained in your motherboards manual or at their official website...

Advantages: very good value for money Disadvantages: not available yet in any higher than 1.5 ghz
...AMD now are on the brink of prdecessing thier main rivals Intel at the processor game. Their most recent processor the AMD Athlon 1.4 ghz has been a great success, and rivals the intel p4 chip with 600mhz more processing power
Combined with a DDR (double data rate) motherboard, AMDs chip provides the ultimate solution for high end video editing and games. Compatable with a wide range of main board manufacturers including Gigabyte, Asus, msi and abit, the chip is widely available at low prices, just £90 for the 1.4 mhz chip, which has been proved to be faster than the PIV chip (on a DDR motherboard), and it costs £300 less.
If you want a cheap pc with top specs then this processor is for you. With a bus speed of 133mhz and 10.5x clock multiplier, this chip will certainly top my pc upgrade list!...

Advantages: Cheap, Fast, Definitely a good buy. Disadvantages: Runs very hot and needs compatible motherboard and power supply
...AMD have certainly turned themselves around in recent times and now represent a viable option to Intel processors.
Traditionally AMD have been strong in the "value"/budget segment of the market. The AMD Athlon is a processor that challenges Intel higher up the food chain.
Advantages
AMD Athlons are faster than Intel processors when comparing Mhz to Mhz.
AMD Athlons are cheaper than Intel processorsMhz for Mhz.
Possible pitfalls...
AMDprocessors require motherboards with "Socket A". These are different to motherboards that support Intel processors and tend to be slightly more expensive.
It is highly recommended that you use an AMD approved power supply with your AMDprocessor. If you don't you are liable to suffer from unexplainable crashes.
This is because AMDprocessors run much hotter than Intel processors. It is very easy...

Go on admit it. You know you want a faster processor, but every time you check the prices you gasp in horror at what the current prices stand at. This CPU is no different, it is expensive to many consumers' minds and many cannot find a good enough reason more

Easy installation heatsink is easy to fit on the processor 4 pin power... more
This processor is good compromise for a person who wants a high end processor but doesn't want to pay the high price. Combined with a good system this little guy will run most games very well, however if you don't have a sound card and are using your... more
