...it only uses 65 Watts of Electric, Better for the environment and cheaper for my bills. In Windows Vista the Processor gets rated 4.9 out of 5.9 on the Windows Experience Index which you can tell is very good for such a low priced CPU.
I would recommend getting a Power Supply of at least 400Watts for this processor and it must have a 24 Pin Power connector and a P4 Connector for the Motherboard, if you do not the computer may not start. You will also need to find a compatible motherboard for this as well but if you are building your own PC I would suspect you know which parts to use.
The CPU Runs at 2.3GHZ it is overclockable but I did not try this as the computers were not for me. The other features this beast has are 64 bit Technology, 3Dnow!, Streaming SIMD Extensions, Streaming SIMD Extensions 2, Integrated memory controller...

Advantages: Dual-core performance for true multi-tasking Disadvantages: Price a little bit more, but makes sense.
...When I first bought my HP compaq notebook, never did I ever thought of having a good performance with the processor that the shopkeeper suggested and that too with Windows Vista™ premium.
I usually do not go for products that are suggested by others but rather than ask people with their reviews for the same.
God help me! And yes, He did! I'm a lover of games and also browse the net whenever i'm free and both of them together! naah, if it would have been for my old desktop, but it is now easy and my laptop doesn't show any signs of slowdown in performance too.
Let me tell you what makes my laptop do all that together. Its the true multi-tasking dual-core PC performance that is offering my laptop the improved performance. With elgance in the digital media and gaming that's important in today's mainstream notebook PCs AMD Athlon64X2...

Advantages: excellant speed for gaming Disadvantages: not compatible to all mother boards
...AMD Athlon64X2 6000+ / 3GHz processor is very fast and reliable when compared to other processors which is more costly.
AMD Athlon64X2 6000+ / 3GHz processor is very reliable when we use graphic softwares like photoshop or when we play 3D games which are very resource gulping.
AMD Athlon64X2 6000+ / 3GHz processor will not lag or make you wait when we use large sized digital photos when downloading form digital cameras.I put this into the first computer i built.
It can run vertually anything with ease. I am using windows vista x64 ultimate with it, and i have 4GB ram. recommended to anyone. AMD Athlon64X2 6000+ / 3GHz processor heat systrm is excellent which will not produce heat easly.
The computer with AMD Athlon64X2 6000+ / 3GHz processor is my first computer and I am sing this computer for all my...

Computers now are more demanding and need more speed/power to keep up with performance games and software. Dual core work as two CPU cores which increases performance, it is the equivalent of getting two processors in one. In a dual core processor each... more
I bought this processor, new motherboard, new video card and windows vista home premium to upgrade my old PC which my son now uses for gaming. I may review the motherboard etc. later.

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.

I recently decided to get rid of my desktop computer due to it being out of date and incredibly slow and virus ridden.
I decided i'd go for a laptop instead this time as it takes up less space and is mobile. Having never had a laptop before i was... more

I picked one of these up at comet on sale sue to a shop refurbished and as such got a display model for a bargain price of £299.99, excitement and a sense of smugness when other customers were piped to the post by me, ok it didn't have a box more
