dwspalton
Advantages: fast, runs cool, easy to install, cheap
Disadvantages: none
...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.

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.
I also use 2 GB PC-5400 Coasair XMS2 ...

Advantages: Fast enough, Stable, Low power consupltion in idle
Disadvantages: No room for overclock, High power consuption in full load
...the last good offers that Amd launched in the market to compete with Core Duo processors. My tested version is built on 90 nm tired and true fabrication technology and has several good points, that worth mentioning.

The performance is good, overall loses to core2 duo E6600 but by small distance and are some applications that really work better on this processor.
The stability is perfect never had a single system crash.
The ease ... ...consumption on idle: 9w
Low price
The not so good stuff:
Loses to many applications to core 2 duo E6600
Relative high power consumption in full load 84-87w
No room for overclock, if you reach 3100 Mhz you're lucky
Conclusion: one of best Amd processors today ...
