Around a year ago, I built myself a computer and decided to continue using AMD processors as I have found them to be very reliable. I opted for the X2 4800+ as it was the right value of power and price. The installation of the processor was relatively hassle free and without problem as the bundled heat sink had easy fit fixtures attached to it.
Once the processor was installed and all the componants put in place, the computer worked without a problem and even when putting the processor under load. Due to the case that I selected the air flow was fantastic so the processor ran realitvely cold, around 45 - 50 degrees. I found the processor to be very versatile as well, as I overclocked each core to over 3GHz without any loss of stability and there was also software provided that allowed for a variable clockspeed depending on the load placed on the processor, helping to save energy.
I have been using the processor quite heavily for over a year now and it has remained very stable has not crashed, even when it has been running hot. I would definitely recommend the X2 4800+ to anyone who wants a stable system that is powerful yet is working on a budget.

I can recommend getting some thermal grease. This acts as sort of a small barrier between the processor (where ... ...fan (to disperse the heat and keep it cool).
I'm a person that will build a pc and take it apart just to build it again.
When installing processors, there is a small gold triangle on one corner that aligns with a triangle on the motherboard. This must be aligned or else you with break the Processor and montherboard.
I put this processor into a GIGABYTE G52S-S3P mother board and was set to go in about 30 mins.
