AMD Sempron 2500
Review of AMD Sempron 2500+ / 1.75 GHz processor by craig911gt2

Advantages: cheap, reliable, clockable
Disadvantages: stlii quite slow

...problem with this processor and it does take a lot, this is why I have always used AMD and probably always will. The only reason I would change this one is for an AMD 3200 Athlon because even with overclocking you can only take it so far! Definately recommended! ... Read review

Do it with AMD!
Review of AMD Sempron 2400+ / 1.66 GHz processor by rally1998

Advantages: Cheap, Reliable, AMD
Disadvantages: Slowish compared to better CPUs

...have been brand loyal to AMD for many reasons, Customer Service is fantastic, The processors are fantastic, the prices for the processors are also...fantastic. Compared to Intel: These processors are here for the budgeters. The people who want computers for rock bottom prices. This processor is head to head with Intels Celeron processor, both of which AMD and Intel of various running speeds for these processors. These processors I believe are better ...
...up their clock speed (ghz) AMD are actually using their brains, by increasing the IPC the processor can get more things done at any one time, the added benefit of this is that the processor can run at a lower temperature becausw of the lower clock speed! this is why we get AMD Sempron 2800+ with a clock speed of 1.66ghz, The 2800+ merely indicates that this would outperform (hence the (+) at the end of the figures) an equivalent processor running ...

Run stable and quiet.
Review of AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ / 2.2 GHz processor by pchenn

Advantages: Stable Temperature.
Disadvantages: -

...XP SP2. I like this AMD processor because have dual core system and more faster than Intel Pentium Core Duo 2.2Ghz. I use ECS GeForce6100PM-M2 mainboard, DDR2 1Ghz, onboard VGA sharing up to 512MB. Then I try run The Sims game and wow.... I don't believe it, run stable and quick load when play. I can play NBA Live 2007 game too without using PCI-E VGA card. This AMD processor very quiet and the temperature is always stable. I try it all using original ... Read review

E6750 - The midrange cpu to buy
Review of Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 / 2.66 GHz processor by RRD313

Advantages: fairly good price, dual core, 2.66 ghz, 4m L2 cache
Disadvantages: fan is somewhat hard to install

This E6750 is the processor running in my computer as I write this review. In my opinion I couldn't have chosen a better CPU for what I was looking for. I was looking to spend around 200 USD for a processor and I wanted it to be very powerful so that I could run demanding programs and all of the most recent games. This processor combined with my 8800 gts 320md graphics card put on a show when it comes to graphics displays. I have yet to be disappointed ... Read review

Excellent value for Money
Review of Intel Pentium Dual Core E2160 / 1.8 GHz processor by cstewart08

Advantages: Quite Fast, Overclockable, Cheap
Disadvantages: 1mb cache

I have had this processor in my PC for around 7 months and it is probably the best value processor around. I put it i my first ever build and it was very easy to install and very fast,probably the fastest PC I had ever used! After a few days I messed aroung with overclocking and this is when I really unlocked its potential. I don't really have a clue about memory timings etc. so anything extra I could get out of it the better. I could get it up ...
...but its now sitting at 3Ghz as it has been for 7 months and it flies! I have played quite a few games with it including COD4, PES 2008, FIFA 08, GTA SA, Half Life 2 and more, very smoothly. I can also convert a 2hr film to DVD in around 50 mins, on my old computer it would take 4hrs. Overall a cheap and Cheerful processor ... Read review
