Very fast and very reliableStrengths: 1MB L2 x2, fast dual access, OS bootup is amazing Weakness: none to currently report, very nice processor The stock retail heatseek and fan works just fine if you have a case with enough air flow. I run a full tower with 2x120 fans coming in the front and 2x120 fans out the back. I would highly suggest for any dual core to update your OS (XP) with the dual core patches found on AMD web site. Without these patches you will not fully use the dual core processing power these processors have to offer....

Just when it coudn't get any better!Strengths: Speed, speed and more speed! Dual core, Large cache. Weakness: Stock CPU cooler isn't enough for this, definatly invest in a better cooler. Well if your an AMD fan then this is definatly a sweet little processor. Chews up everything and with all the updated cards, memory and periferals integrates semlessly and actually works better. The only drawback is the CPU cooler, but that has always been a downfall to their retail packs. Doo yourself a favor and pick up and decent fan.

Very NiceStrengths: Speed, Price, Threads, 64, AMD. It performs great once you Throw out the stock heat sink. Weakness: P.O.S. Heat sink! Can it. The first time i installed this processor it ran at 70c under load! After i took off the heat sink i could see the stock thermal paste was CAKED on there.. so bad that the processor wasnt even making total contact with the heat sink, which is a piece of crap.. (no copper at all??) once i put some artic silver on there, with a nice heat sink, it runs nice and cool. in fact, i overclocked it to...

Fast Fast Fast processor!Strengths: Extremely fast, dual core! Weakness: none! This processor is wonderful. It is very very fast, dual core, and easy to overclock. This is one of the best AMD processors you can buy for the money! It is expensive, but the bang you get for your buck is amazing!

AMD ATHLON X2 5200=Strengths: pretty fast The Amd X2 5200+ processor is a pretty decent CPU. It is clocked at 2600mhz and you can probably bump that up if you overclock it. For everyday tasks it seems to be pretty fast. It runs pretty hot. I tried benchmarking it uses 3dmark06 and it would shut down my computer due to it running hot. Not sure if that is CPU related or my cheap ECS nforce 4 motherboard. Overall I'm pleased with this cpu....

conroe is better if you overclockStrengths: reasonable price fast good compatible motherboard is cheap Weakness: not as good as core 2 duo got it for cheap with free ecs motherboard. Is fast out of box. Easy installation, stock fan is pretty good. However when overclocked, conroe E6600 smokes it. However if you buy intel, compatible good motherboards are expensive.

Affordable step into dual core processorsStrengths: Relatively cool running, a lot of power for not a lot of money Weakness: None noticed so far A friend wanted to enter the dual core market, so this was a relatively inexpensive option. One minor gripe we had with it was the installation of the heatsink and fan. I had grown used to the installation of Socket 478 heatsinks, so it took a while to install this one, as we didn't want to apply too much force.

The great dual-core AMD Socket AM2 Processor !!Strengths: For CPU speeds means everything! stably! easy overclock! Great core with relatively cheap price. Nice processor for performance, price, and well easy running. Weakness: Runs a bit hotter for my tastes, The fan it comes with is cheap! very loud and not efficient! Need a better fan! I can't believe how fast this processor is! Runs multiple programs at the same time without any delay! Super fast processor, makes everything load and install in a flash. easy installation!

Amazing speedStrengths: Very fast and affordable Weakness: None I love AMD's mixture of reliability and affordability. One major change in their processors over the years is an enclosed core, which helps reduce damage while installing (I've hard cores that have crumbled in the past, but this is not a problem now).

AMD Athlon X2 5200+
A middle of the road option in the AMD lineup, the AMD Athlon 5200+ can handle whatever you throw at it competently. Rated at 2.7GHz or 2.6GHz (dependent on the specific model processor you buy) with a TDP of 65W, the 5200+ is cool and efficient enough to be quiet and light on the utility bill, but strong enough to handle a fair bit of gaming or encoding without becoming a system bottleneck that...

Great processor!
Strengths: Amazing processor. Works great and super fast!
Weakness: Get a better cooler.
This is a really great processor and performs lightening fast. I would recommend getting a larger cooler or upgraded heatsink and fan for this since it is such a monster.
