Pros Cool, Quiet, High performance, and hold stocks for 64 bit future
Cons Nothing (comparatively with any other CPUs for this price)
Recommended it? Yes

I have use this subject in my barebone from Shuttle. Little case, so cool (I mean not hot) CPU is needed for operation quietly. I satisfied with Athlon 64 completely, it is strong enough and my funs remains surprisingly quiet. And it is work faster than even more expensive models from Pentium 4... Read full review »

Unable to enjoy the AMD 64 bit chip

byctwilson Oct 30, 2005
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros AMD literature says it will work real fast
Cons No hardware compatibility.
Recommended it? No

I purchased this chip over a year ago with an ASUS A8V-E-Deluxe motherboard. To date, with the exception of an ATI video card, I've been unable to find any hardware drivers for even the most simple name-brand peripherals. For example, my HP 5590 scanner and HP LaserWriter are less that a year old... Read full review »

My Over-Clocking King.

Pros Easy to overclock, runs cool, doesn't use much energy.
Cons May require a large hsf replacement, as the stock HSF is not very good.
Recommended it? Yes

This is the processor I am using day in and day out and it is by far the best piece of hardware I have ever owned. Not only does it work perfectly and stay cool, it over-clocks like no tomorrow.

I have my little E8400 running at 4.0Ghz on air-cooling which was a lot easier to set-up than I... Read full review »

Intel E8400 do's & don'ts

Pros Best value 4.0Ghz Dual Core 6MB L2 Cache processor available today.
Cons $165 less for me to spend on pizza.
Recommended it? Yes

Having built many PCs back to the days of paying $1,000 for a processor that ran at 100hz, recalling the progressions over almost 30 years has brought me to the point where justifying the purchase of another CPU has become nearly impossible due to the almost instantaneous launch and multi-task...
