...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. When you buy the retail box, you do get all you need for the processor - Heat-sink and fan - Processor (all 939 pins of it - counted of course) 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. I also use 2 GB PC-5400 Coasair XMS2 ... Read review

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 good stuff: 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 ...

Disadvantages: hard to think of one

This intel dual core processor with 2.4Ghz speed (total speed of 4.8Ghz) with a 2MB Cache can handle an awful lot of demanding programs runnning at once and for the amazingly low price its a very good processor. This processor is also compatable with 64 bit computing. It has an LGA775 Socket which is compatable with most motherboards (up to you to check these things) if you are looking to upgrade or build your own pc. If you are looking to buy a ... Read review
