Advantages: Fast, cheap, potential
Disadvantages: Misunderstood

...was always a fan of AMD but when I started to really learn the differences between them and their Intel competition I started to LOVE them. I currently have this CPU running on my main PC, which I prefer to the Athlon 64 3000+ I also have. Granted the 64 has more number-crunching ability, however for the price and limitations it has, the XP soars forward. The temperature and voltage of this CPU may be relatively high, but for it's age it's a cracker. ...
...about, my CPU is unlocked so even more safe overclocking available. As for Pentium 4s... these are more expensive and slower. I recently pitted a 1.7Ghz versus a 1700+ (1.4Ghz) and the AMD won by a significant margin. Intel technology is behind that of the AMD factory. ... Read review

Advantages: Fastest 266mhz Athlon
Disadvantages: Not upgradable

...This was the fastest processor AMD released with a 266mhz bus. If you have an old PC lying around which could benefit from this, it's probably better sooner rather than later, as the price has pretty much bottomed out, and the processor is now low end, and some companies may stop stocking it. Make sure you get the OEM version, as it's a damn sight cheaper. It's not like you'll need support for it. ... Read review

Advantages: Fast, cheap
Disadvantages: nothing

...technical because of this today. AMD is a processor for a PC of the manufacturer and the name AMD Athlon XP has 2700+. @ what?s that? @ What all these, these don't know about computers and the components so, I would like to explain himself in this place for a processor or said better is one CPU (Central Processing Unit) and for what one needs something like that. A CPU is so to speak the brain of a computer, it is square or rectangularly and ...
...the CPU?, by which this AMD cannot keep pace with Intel at the clock frequencies, the PR Rating was invented by not calling the outer clock frequency but the internal, therefore AMD can keep pace with Intel again well and a CPU of this type comes approximately to the same values as an Intel pentium 4 with 2.8 Ghz, in addition, the AMD processors are much more favorable than these from the competitor Intel. @ the manufactor @ Advanced Micro Devices, ...

Advantages: ideal for intense computing environments
Disadvantages: none

...unbelieveable performance and The Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series is ideal for intense computing environments, 32-bit and 64-bit business-critical applications and high-end workstation and Analysis in my mind Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series-based platforms are expected to deliver up to 2.25 times the performance and 2.35 times the performance/watt of previous-generation dual-core Intel Xeon processors and realiable performance ...

Advantages: Intelligent Power Capability
Disadvantages: none

These new processors deliver amazing performance and power efficiency.With four execution cores, the Intel® Core™2 Quad processor blows through processor-intensive tasks in demanding multitasking environments and makes the most of highly threaded applications. Graphics Video works Just SUPER.Keep it cool, and you should be able to do some over clocking. I turned my ASUS auto overclocking off since I really dont need to over clock (& void the ... Read review
