Advantages: Multi-Tasking, Will Run Nearly All Aplications without a fuss Disadvantages: Temp Could be a problem, Slightly sluggish on very high end Apps
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 motherboard's integrated sound expect a slight drop in performance.
At rest my system's temp is about 30 degrees Celsius, but peaks up to 37-40 during heavy use. Temp is however very dependent ... ...lot on how many fans you have and/or use water cooling.
I have two computers with this chip and I find that it is quite satisfactory. I regularly play video games, download and play music, video edit, and dabble in a little bit of everything and I have not ever ran into a program that I could not run because of a slow processor. The times when I wished I had a slightly faster processor were few, and they were not enough for me to warrant ... more

Very good processor. Handles everything fast, also cheaper than equivalent Intel Core 2's.
I bought it 2 months ago and never had any complaints. I recommend this to every new pc builder! ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ / 2.6 GHz processor
Advantages: Fast, Quiet And Most Of All Cool Disadvantages: None
...fast processor that comes with AMD Cool N Quiet Drivers for your motherboard.
I personally find the cpu temperature is around 29 Degrees Celcius at its hottest.
The dual core capability makes u able to set affinity for programs, so if you wanted to do a virus scan, you could set it to CPU 0, and meanwhile set all programs you need to CPU 1, therefore no speed is lost.
On the whole, as a computer builder, i have bought about 50 of these so far, ...

Advantages: support virtualization in linux, multi-threading, fast desktop application Disadvantages: could improve linux support improving throttling
i am using this cpu to run a linux home server.
it supports virtualization, so if you want to run other OS (windows, linux, MacX ) on top of linux you can..
and you have plenty of cpu to use for your office stuff.
very good value-for-money in my view. but make sure you buy ddr2 memory of the same frequency as this cpu.
works very quiet and cool; i like listening to music and it very sharp.
i do not do games, thus would not know how it performs ...

Manufacturer's product description
Multi-tasking has become a way of life, but sometimes your PC just can't keep up with everything you want to do on it at the same time. The AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor enables true multitasking - taking computing to an all new level. Dual-Core technology is like having two processors working together, each one taking care of different applications. So now you can simultaneously burn a CD, check e-mail, edit a digital photo, and run your virus protection - all without slowing down your computer. To protect your computer you've installed all the latest virus protection and firewall software. The result? Your PC is safer but slower. Upgrade to a computer powered by the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor - now you can run protection programs in the background while a second runs the applications you want to work on - making computing fast again.
