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 »

Recommended it? Yes

In the world of IT, we do not get out very often so our biggest thrills surround the arrival of new hardware.  Recently, a new desktop computer from Dell arrived and inside it was the Intel Core 2 Quad, 2.4Ghz processor.  The need to benchmark the daylights out of this processor was too much to...

Fast x4, Overclocks Well if Lucky, but HOT HOT HOT

Pros Can hit 3.5 GHz rock solid stable (YMMV), low FSB and high multiplier (easier OC)
Cons Bad heatsink mount design, high temperatures (even at stock settings)
Recommended it? Yes

It's no secret that Intel's current Core microarchitecture is superior than AMD's current K10. It is also no secret that Intel was ready to unveil a 45 μm refresh of the Core. The quad-core version would be codenamed Yorkfield. Not only will the die be smaller than today’s quad-core (codename... Read full review »
