Advantages: Highest performing single core processor without spending £700 on a FX Disadvantages: Its not too good at multi tasking
...The AMD64 4000+ is the quickest and highest performing processor without spending around £500 to £800 on the FX line of AMDprocessors. This is an excellent chip if you want a performance boost that you can see as soon as you install it however with the new generation of dual core chips I would highly recommend one of them as they are more future proof than this processor. This processor gives your computer a nice boost to its performance, I used to run an Intel machine however changed to AMD and the AMD is definately better for gaming. In conclusion this processor is an excellent piece of engineering however with the developments in technology I would encourage people to go for the dual core technology....

Advantages: very good for games Disadvantages: not very good for muti tasking
...amd have always been the bests for games but never 2 good for muti tasking but if your like me and you can have 2processors you should have one amd and Intel so your pc will be good for gaming and muti tasking so if you really want a fast pc you should used amd and intel together so that you can do all the things you want or you could just get two of this amdprocessor so that your pc will be 4.8ghz with windows xp 64 bit it will work so much better and it is very good for the money and it takes no time to put in your pc i hope this has helped...

Advantages: Ultimate speed for great performance in the very latest generation of games Disadvantages: Average operating temperature.
...The nirivana of processors? Yes for even the most avid gamers, looking for a processor that will blast games into the nest dimension? Well this is a very good choice and If you wish to push even more out of this processor as always AMDprocessors yield great results in the overclocking department this is a must if you are the professional gamer. Supporting 64bit operating systems and software, with a great nifty clock speed and ample amounts of cache memory this processor is only let down by its price tag.
However if you have alot of money to spend and want to really gloat to your mates or need a super performance computer for the most demanding software? You cant go wrong with this processor....
