One of AMD's newer chips

bysuemccartin Dec 27, 2007
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros AMD name, wide choice of compatible motherboards, price
Cons DDR2 memory (time to buy new if you upgraded)
Recommended it? Yes

AMD and Intel have been in a product/price war for years. For every dedicated Intel fan you'll find as many dedicated AMD fans. Personally I'm an AMD fan mostly because I don't care for Intel's business practices and never will; you also tend to get a lot more bang for the same buck with AMD. Intel... Read full review »

Pros Fast, Powerful, Energy Efficient
Cons Overpriced
Recommended it? Yes

It worked excellent for like 1 year, very good for medium-end PCs, decent speed, good for non-extreme gaming, only problem is the price, higher than Athlon II X2 245 that is faster. Read full review »

555 Black Edition, did someone say value?

byboogacow Jun 3, 2010
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros HUGE bang for the buck. Not too hot for a CPU, and overclocks very high.
Cons 25% chance of a working quad. Two of three got me three cores though.
Recommended it? Yes

Hi Folks, I am a man of many pursuits, and one of them happens to be building and tuning custom PC's. I'm one of those fools who drops whole paychecks into the latest components and won't hesitate to rebuild his whole system from the ground up only for purposes of adding a fan or new processor...

A CPU for Windows 7

bybvckvs May 24, 2010
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros An ideal processor for a home upgrade to Windows 7.
Cons Is apparently not 100% compatible with Intel processors.
Recommended it? Yes

I'm not a big fan of tweaking up my hardware just for entertainment, but still I found myself needing a new CPU to go with my new motherboard as part of my pending upgrade to Windows 7.  (As it turns out, the only hardware that I can still use is the PC's case.)

Why THIS Processor?
