Advantages: Cheap, Reliable, AMD
Disadvantages: Slowish compared to better CPUs

...have been brand loyal to AMD for many reasons, Customer Service is fantastic, The processors are fantastic, the prices for the processors are also...fantastic. Compared to Intel: These processors are here for the budgeters. The people who want computers for rock bottom prices. This processor is head to head with Intels Celeron processor, both of which AMD and Intel of various running speeds for these processors. These processors I believe are better ...
...up their clock speed (ghz) AMD are actually using their brains, by increasing the IPC the processor can get more things done at any one time, the added benefit of this is that the processor can run at a lower temperature becausw of the lower clock speed! this is why we get AMD Sempron 2800+ with a clock speed of 1.66ghz, The 2800+ merely indicates that this would outperform (hence the (+) at the end of the figures) an equivalent processor running ...

Advantages: Cost effective, stable and easy installation
Disadvantages: Will struggle on the very latest generation of games

If you need a fast chip for day to day work and some low to medium level gaming this is the chip for you. It runs at a very low and stable temperature even under load, which will improve the stabilty of the chip. It also is very easy to install, including a installation guide. If you want a budget processor for gameing however this still is a good choice, it will smoothly run most games apart from the latest games such as DOOM 3 or F.E.A.R. But if ... Read review

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: Stable, fast, easy to install and value for money
Disadvantages: Instructions could be clearer

...say? What a product. The AMD 1.92GHz processor delivers high speed and performance at low cost. Built upon the reliability of AMD's processor architecture this product is not only quick and stable but is easy to install. I found this product very attractive thanks to reviews on Ciao and others. Support from AMD was excellent and they provided top support for the product. The only problem with the product was the manual. This was minimal and I ... Read review

Advantages: Overclockability, Reliability, Price
Disadvantages: erm None

I have had this Proccesor almost a year and half now. All i can sya is it is great, I have used my motherboards overclocking tool nad when running the sandra benchmark it has beaten the XP2800+, I know i coul go further but my memory is generic 333MHZ memory whih will probably be destroyed if i increase the FSB further. Although the Multiplier is shown to be locked on the overclocking software i have, i am sure it could be over come. THe only thing ...
...one and getting 400MHZ DDR Ram. As then you will be really able to let this processor rip. It runs at just over 50 degrees C with the inbuilt fan with SETI runing most of the time, could i have bought a better chip for the money, i do not think so. ... Read review
