Advantages: Cheap, good performance, rock solid stability, for 939 (older) AMD boards Disadvantages: Cast aside by newer processors
This particular X2 3800+ is for socket 939 motherboards, which are now being replaced by the newer AM2 boards available. However, if you want a good processor upgrade without having to replace your motherboard as well, this processor is a great choice.
When I purchased it a few months back it was around the £80 mark but the price is constantly dropping; a look now shows you can pick one up for just under £50, maybe more if you shop around. Day-to-day ... ...but for heavy-duty tasks such as gaming or intensive computing it can\'t beat the newer Intel Core 2 Duo processors now available. That said, it\'s still superb as a processor if you intend to use it for gaming; I\'ve thrown a few newish games at it including Command and Conquer 3 and Bioshock and it can handle them no problem at all at stock speeds.
The X2 3800+ is also a pretty good overclocker; it stocks at 2Ghz with a 10x multiplier, but you ...

Advantages: Easy to install, fast Disadvantages: Cooler gets a bit hot, hard to install heatsink
My first processor in my first build. Did some research and found this at www.wbuyer.com - bought it for £80 or there abouts.
Was easy to install - bit tricky to put on heatsink with retention stands, but as long as you arent afraid to push it hard, youll be fine.
Runs very nicely at 2.0 Ghz, runs programs very quickly, lov the dual core option. The heatsink could be a bit better as things do tend to heat up a bit.
Cheap processor but great performance. ...

Advantages: Fast, cheap, gives great improvment in performance Disadvantages: a bit outdated
I bought this proccesor a while ago now, but it has been serving me well ever since. I bought it to create my new system to use at university, and I am not regretting the purchase. It is a bargain price for a dual core proccesor. I did not think that there would be a great improvment in speed and proccesing by using a dual core, as apossed to a single core, but I was mistaken. The change in power of your PC will be amazing and its a must if you have ...

Great all rounder! Review ofAMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ / 2 GHz processorby
iger78
Good value for money and a great overclocker. I installed the 3800 in my new build and yes it does what it's suppose to do. Multimedia is alot faster than the single core brother and course if you like to run a couple of applications together then yes you are going to benefit alot from the dual core chips. Copying music from cd's whas also never this fast!
I was supprised to see how little extra power was needed for overclocking this CPU. Volts ...
