Most Helpful First | Newest First (5 out of 5)AMD Athlon 64 4800+ X2 dual core 2.5GHz processor
I recently upgraded my wife's computer from a socket A Athlon XP 3000+ to this socket AM2 Athlon 64 X2 dual-core 4800+. The prices have dropped through the floor since Intel's dual and quad core processors hit the market, so this was a great deal. The computer is still limited by the hard drive, but the processor with 2 GB DDR2 RAM flies. It's especially noticeable transferring files from a flash drive, like one from a camera. For less than $100 more the 6000+ is available, but the 4800+ seems to be the most cost effective performance right now when you take into account price, front side bus speed, L1 and L2 cache size, and processor speed.
(5 out of 5)energy saving - CPU- smooth running
This processor from AMD runs very cool (32C to 43C) on a Asus M2a motherboard with the hdmi card interface. The chip is very smooth and allows me to burn dvd and cd's quickly. I can do other things while longer processes are going on with no trouble. I am running a Novel Suse Enterprise Desktop 10 sp1 with a Vmware6 workstation for Linux that has (2) windows systems (2000 and XP) running inside it. The systems all can be up and running and the processor continues to work just fine. I want to get another one to set up a new server system as this one worked so well.
