Awesome processor

14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fast, built for future apps as well as today's
Cons High cost (over $200 plus motherboard will cost more)
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased my Amd 64 cpu at newegg about 5 months ago. No problems so far. It hasn't been very long but at least it seems to indicate it is reliable.
The AMD 64 truly is an awesome processor. First off, it is capable of running 64 bit applications. Already Unreal Tournament 2004 is 64 bit... Read full review »

Very good CPU

Pros Cool CPU, Quiet CPU fan, good for a cheap computer instead of an Intel.
Cons Can't overclock alot.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this CPU when my not so old main board went bad, and I got the AMD 64 3000 because it's fast and uses a lot less power (1.7Amps VS my Intel Celeron "D" 320 2.4 at 2.7 Amps). Since I didn't have the money to buy a socet 939 with PCI-Express, I got this CPU instead. My new system is as... Read full review »

Actually, it overclocks very well!

Pros fast
Cons needs well thought-out cooling
Recommended it? Yes

With a simple Swiftech water cooling rig, i'm currently running mine 24/7 at 3.6GHz, not getting over 45-deg C with both cores occupied 100% on video-encoding tasks. i'm using an Asus P5LD2 MB, and i've cranked the core and memory voltages a bit (Corsair memory is running 1:1 with the FSB), but...
