A little hot but well worth it for speed
(4 out of 5) by T. Kim on Oct 10, 2007 (Princeton, NJ United States)I upgraded my AMD 939 socket 4400+ to this AM2 socket 6000+ CPU and I'm very satisfied with the results. You can get a better deal by overclocking a Intel chip but if you're just looking for fast, reliable, value CPU this AMD chip's the solution. The only reason I'm rating it four stars is the fact this chip runs a little hot. Using the cool n quiet function, my CPU was running at 45C at 1300 RPM on the fan. After I turned off this function on my CPU fan and set it to maximum I was able to achieve 35C at 2400 RPM. So at the cost of performance, my computer's sound went up. But I'm still very happy with the results. Highly recommend.

Faster than a speeding bullet
(5 out of 5) by Christopher Cook on Jan 21, 2008 (Saint louis, Mo)I originally had the amd sempron processors which is was slower than malasis when i installe this bad baby all it did was left dust in the wind. This chip is do fast i couldn't believe i never bought it earlier. it handles any game especially crysis with no problem on top of that it was very easy to install. i reccommend this product to anyone who wants to run applications at the speed of light.

89W instead of 125W
(5 out of 5) by Mick Stranahan on Nov 10, 2008 (Florida)When I ordered this I thought I would be sent the 125W 90nm, but instead received the 89W 90nm 6000+, which is better because I found out later my motherboard can only handle up to 95W so I lucked out there. With the stock cooler I found it runs very cool at around 30-40C depending on what I am doing and which core (Core #2 runs about 10C hotter idle).
I am not sure why this product is mislabeled as the 125W, maybe amazon needs to change it or maybe it was just luck. But I am very happy with this CPU overall, a huge difference from my old X2 3800+.

Unbeatable price/performance ratio
(5 out of 5) by Boyan Syarov on Dec 19, 2007 (Los Angeles, CA)Pros: Handles great. I didn't think it could surprise me in multitasking, but there is an obvious difference from my old Core Duo. AMD doesn't give you a cheap aluminum heat sink, this baby came with a very impressive (for being stock) copper type cooler - makes me want to smash to pieces my Zalman cooled Intel.
Cons: Could have more cache, which seems to be where AMD downside is. As far as the memory controller goes - I would still choose it before FSB.
Other Thoughts: AMD happens to be better for the money, no doubt about that. I've been switching camps every 18 months for the past 12 years, but Intel doesn't seem to want to give us a good deal.
