Fast and "cheap" CPu compared to Intel
Strengths: 65W, 2.4GHz, Dual, 64bit
Weakness: 1MB L2 cache.
I really don't have any bad things to say about this processor. It's Cheaper than Intel so right away it's better. Engery efficent chip with 65W. Nowadays most games require over 2GHz of CPU speed so 2.4GHz is just right. Dual 64bit is great for running Vista 64bit or XP 64bit. I do not like the fact it only has 1MB L2 cache when AMD could have had more here. Most Intel chips are now coming out...

Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Dual Core Processor
Strengths: Runs at full speed, but remains cool using stock HSF combo.Support for AMD Cool'n'Quiet technology.energy efficient at 65W.
Weakness: Only 1MB L2 cache option available for 4600+.
Good performance for the price. Has a vast array of motherboard support, from non-SLI setup to full SLI or crossfire.I built my box in anticipation of Vista, and running RC2, this processor doesn't disappoint.Games are now more lifelike. Has plenty of processing muscle to spare.I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to build a powerful PC but doesn't wan't to spend a fortune.

Just right for home theater
Strengths: Fast cool low power
Weakness: not as fast as some others
This is doing a great job running my home theater pc. I use it to record and playback hdtv as well for a backup server, etc. It's plenty fast enough for all of that. If you want something a little faster, you could try the ado5200 2.6gHz version of this. However, you might be paying more for speed you don't need.
