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

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: Blistering speeds
Disadvantages: Ideally needs Vista 64 bit but few software compatibility probems

Intel have really got it right with this CPU. It was easy to install and runs like a dream. To take real advantage of the power of this CPU it really needs the Vista 64bit version and there are few software compatibility problems now so it is worth taking the plunge. I've never seen software install so quickly on a PC as with this processor and running Windows updates, background tasks, processor hungry games etc. just doesn't have an impact on the ...

Advantages: Price, performance
Disadvantages: Heat

A brilliant processor, can run the latest games with ease. Brilliant value too! I play the likes of crysis and cod4 seamlessly with this processor. There are a few things you must be careful of though, first of all this processor gives out a fair amount of heat! I dont feel that the supplied fan is good enough, but that could just be because of my cramped case. Secondly, the edges are sharp! I cut myself while installing it. Be careful! This is ...
...it didnt complain at all. Thats with an aftermarket cooler though. I upgraded from a single core and was surprised the massive difference it made. So, in conclusion, this is a very impressive cpu for an appealing price! Just look at the ciao price comparison and you will see it available for £75! a bargain. I bought mine at £100. I wish i had found ciao then! ... Read review

Advantages: great for office use. endures high temperatures. has average life of 5-10 years
Disadvantages: can not be used for gaming purpose. Windows Vista might not work

This is an absolute great processor for office use. It can bear very high temperatures, and with the right motherboard and bios it can be overclocked easily. Works great at Windows XP when using word, internet, reading your e-mail etc. (office use). When this processor is installed properly and doen't have to endure very high temperatures it will have probably a lifetime of 5-10 years (maybe even longer). I used it for about 7 years and never got ... Read review
