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!
...clock speed frequencies i.e. 2.2GHz. This enabled it to run a lot cooler (around 45 degrees Celsius at full load), use a lot less power, and enabled feasible overclocking (that is running a CPU faster than it is intended to be run at) even with the provided heatsink and fan in the retail box. They labelled their CPUs as 3000+ even if it was a 2.2GHz processor to show that it ran at the equivalent speed of Intel's 3GHz CPU.
So how does AMD manage to have their CPU's run more efficiently than Intel's even with lower clock speeds? Although a lot of things contribute to it such as cache memory, front side bus and the like, the main thing to effect it is due to the length of the CPU's pipeline.
A pipeline is set in stages, and the more stages it has the longer the pipeline is. AMD's Athlon 64 CPU pipeline length is between 12 - 17, whilst...

Advantages: excellant speed for gaming Disadvantages: not compatible to all mother boards
...AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ / 3 GHz processor is very fast and reliable when compared to other processors which is more costly.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 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 64 X2 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.
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 Athlon 64 X2 6000+ / 3 GHz processor heat systrm is excellent which will not produce heat easly.
The computer with AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ / 3 GHz processor is my first computer and I am sing this computer for all my...

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 64 X2...

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
As an Amd fan I often check the performance of the new Amd products. Based on a new 65 nm architecture I really expected that this processor is better than than the X2 3800 processor but I had mixed opinions and I'm a little disappointed.
The good... more
