Advantages: Highest performing single core processor without spending £700 on a FX Disadvantages: Its not too good at multi tasking
...The AMD 64 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 dualcore 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 dualcore technology....

...The AMD Duron is a very good alternative to the more expensive Pentium 4 and Athlon processors. Line-moderately the Duron core is based on that of the Athlon and brings therefore also Anna-honouring just as good achievement (closer information see bench mark). For fast plays with complex diagram I would recommend this processor. I have mean AMD tested computers with some running plays, which ran all very good and made no problems.
Generally I am with my Duron 1.2Ghz. Very contently. He falls hardly off and mostly only if any program not reliably runs and an error has. The AMD Duron 1.2Ghz. runs with a Frontside bus from 2x100 MHz. This processor is meant for all Main boards, which possess a A-base. The Motherboard operates the processor with a tension of approximately 3.3 V. The price for this processor is to be decided a second good...

Advantages: Speed, Value for Money Disadvantages: Stock Cooler
...Being an AMD fan boy may not help with the decision of the upgrade. But for the price of the processor you will not be disappointed. I had a 3000+ 64Bit AMD I found it to be a pretty quick with music and videos. However I noticed problems with speed when loading games and video editing.
Which is why I decided to upgrade to the AMD 64 Athlon X2 2600+. The 3600+ clocks at 2.0 GHz each, this allows the user to assign programmes with either processor so performance is not lost. This is the plus side of having two processors as you are able to assign processes to a certain processor.
AMD have also brought out two drivers which can fix problems with games which are not developed to support dualcores. One of the games called soldiers does not support two processors and is knows to BSOD (Blue Screen of death) and also crashes the system...

My Previous processors have all been Intel, with exception to an AMD 1800+ that was used as a home server.
The reason for replacing my P4 HT 3Ghz was due to the motherboard systematically failing when the USB devices are connected.
