AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ / 2.6 GHz processor

This processor is good compromise for a person who wants a high end processor but doesn't want to pay the high price. Combined with a good system this little guy will run most games very well, however if you don't have a sound card and are using your motherboard's integrated sound expect a slight drop in performance. At rest my system's temp is about 30 degrees Celsius, but peaks up to 37-40 during heavy use. Temp is however very dependent on the ...
...how many fans you have and/or use water cooling. I have two computers with this chip and I find that it is quite satisfactory. I regularly play video games, download and play music, video edit, and dabble in a little bit of everything and I have not ever ran into a program that I could not run because of a slow processor. The times when I wished I had a slightly faster processor were few, and they were not enough for me to warrant paying the big ...

Review of AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ / 2.6 GHz processor

...fast processor that comes with AMD Cool N Quiet Drivers for your motherboard. I personally find the cpu temperature is around 29 Degrees Celcius at its hottest. The dual core capability makes u able to set affinity for programs, so if you wanted to do a virus scan, you could set it to CPU 0, and meanwhile set all programs you need to CPU 1, therefore no speed is lost. On the whole, as a computer builder, i have bought about 50 of these so far, ...

Review of AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ / 2.6 GHz processor

i am using this cpu to run a linux home server. it supports virtualization, so if you want to run other OS (windows, linux, MacX ) on top of linux you can.. and you have plenty of cpu to use for your office stuff. very good value-for-money in my view. but make sure you buy ddr2 memory of the same frequency as this cpu. works very quiet and cool; i like listening to music and it very sharp. i do not do games, thus would not know how it performs ...
