Rating: Summary: Read up on this one first. Review: AMD makes a bunch of processors. Some are better than others. This one is affordable, but don't plan on doing much overclocking with this one! I got one up to 1917MHz before toasting it and my board too. My Athlon XP 2400+ does much better. Do your homework if you are planning on building a system. AMD revised the Thoroughbred chip design and added some layers to them. Get the next version, it's a better chip.
Rating: Summary: a first timers point of veiw Review: i found the chipset very easy to install in my new elitegroup motherboard.i would reccomend this chip to anyone who is looking for a very easy installation.i have had the chip in my computer for about 6 months with no problems.i have not attempted to over clock it; i heard that they aren't as easy as others. all in all it is a very good product and i look foreward to what AMD has to offer.
Rating: Summary: a first timers point of veiw Review: If you're looking at this CPU, odds are you are looking at it for its overclocking potential. Do some research first. AMD is famous for its overclock-ability, but this chip is a little more tough to overclock than some of the others they make. A lot of folks prefer the 2100+ to this, but I disagree. I think this chip just has a bad rep and takes a little more experimenting to find the right settings. I've got mine up to 1.9gig, and am only just getting the hang of it. I've seen claims of up to 2.4gig (probably with watercooling.)
