Advantages: 64-bit future proofed, speedy, excellent value for money Disadvantages: Dual core AMD 64 CPUS are faster... but hey it would make this CPU cheaper so it's not all bad!
...... although I would only purchase it online where it is cheaper as high street stores can rip you off.
This CPU is clocked at 2.2GHz, but it is just as fast (if not faster) as Intel's P4 3.6GHz CPU. It uses AMD's 939 Socket plug motherboards and supports DUAL DDR RAM as well as having a 64-bit instruction set for future proofing, and AMD's patented Cool'N'Quiet technology that lets the CPU power down when not used for processor demanding applications.
Be wary though, as there are a multitude of different types of 3500+ CPUs by AMD because they just keep editing the original CPU to improve it further. The original 3500+ uses the 'Newcastle" core, which basically has everything that I listed above but only has 512KB of level 2 cache memory (very fast memory storing instructions that is used over and over again so that it can be more quickly...

Advantages: excellant speed for gaming Disadvantages: not compatible to all mother boards
...AMD Athlon 64X2 6000+ / 3 GHz processor is very fast and reliable when compared to other processors which is more costly.
AMD Athlon 64X2 6000+ / 3 GHz processor is very reliable when we use graphic softwares like photoshop or when we play 3D games which are very resource gulping.
AMD Athlon 64X2 6000+ / 3 GHz 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.

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 Athlon 64X2...

Go on admit it. You know you want a faster processor, but every time you check the prices you gasp in horror at what the current prices stand at. This CPU is no different, it is expensive to many consumers' minds and many cannot find a good enough reason 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.
I researched this processor on the web first, and decided on this... more
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
Not a bad little pice of kit considering the price. The roboraptor has the ability to roam, growl, move forward backwards, left and right, all controlled by a Playstation-esqe type of controller. When knocked on, the raptor growls, and moves its head.... more
