Product Description
Multi-tasking has become a way of life, but sometimes your PC just can't keep up with everything you want to do on it at the same time. The AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor enables true multitasking - taking computing to an all new level. Dual-Core technology is like having two processors working together, each one taking care of different applications. So now you can simultaneously burn a CD, check e-mail, edit a digital photo, and run your virus protection - all without slowing down your computer.To protect your computer you've installed all the latest virus protection and firewall software. The result? Your PC is safer but slower. Upgrade to a computer powered by the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor - now you can run protection programs in the background while a second runs the applications you want to work on - making computing fast again.

 Bad product copy and Wrong picture shown February 14, 2008

The product copy describes a socket 939 processor and the picture is of a socket 939 processor. What you get is a socket AM2. I suggest buying a processor only from a vendor who can give you the serial number.
 Excellent, cheap and great for gaming! September 10, 2007

The processor.
First thing's first: make sure you previously (or immediately) download and install AMD's drivers and Dual Core Optimizer (also be sure to update your motherboard's drivers and BIOS). The first time I loaded this puppy on my freshly installed Windows XP (32bit, for compatibility's sake) computer I found it to be painfully sluggish. The culprit? System Properties showed that the Windows had detected it at as an 1.3ghz dual core turtle. I immediately installed said drivers, restarted and hello, 2.3ghz of pure beauty. It's a little sad that such detection issue makes Windows (at least XP) install as an 1.3ghz processor, which is a lot slower than if it detected the whole speed and installed as such. Besides that, I haven't had any problems with it at all. It's also great for power saving.
Gaming.
On the topic of gaming, this processor really performs. Basically, you will only need a medium range dual core processor to play any game thrown at us for quite a while. Alongside XFX GeForce 8600GT XXX 256MB DDR3 DUAL DVI TV PCI-E and Corsair 2GB 240 DIMM non-ECC DDR2 RAM (TWIN2X2048-6400C4), I am able to play Bioshock at 1024*768 on the highest possible settings without a hitch. Naturally, no game I've thrown has been able to slow it down (for those keeping count, that's NFS Most Wanted, STALKER, Half-Life 2, Counter Strike:Source, AoE3, CC3 Kane, Call of Duty 2, Battlefield 2, Doom 3, Farcry, SimBin's WTCC and more (I'll update when RS: Vegas arrives). It's a powerhouse processor I did not even expect (we all know those 2GB and a cheap as gaming tokens 8600GT aren't really considered "good" for gaming). Also, a recent Gamespot articles shows that a powerhouse game like Bioshock doesn't even care what type of processor you own as long as it is a dual core one ([...]).
Programming.
I still haven't tested it extensively, but I must say that Dev-CPP and Visual Studio 5 behave excellently (naturally, Visual Studio being a bit slower than Dev-CPP).
Linux.
To me, the ways to really show off your processing power is by working wit Linux. Arch Linux flies on this puppy. As simple as that. I'll go back almost completely to it once I'm done with Bioshock (ok, laugh). On Linux, dual-core optimization is great, but what really blows my mind is a (almost) completely 64bit environment (unlike Windows 64bit). This thing flies.
1 MB or 512kb L2 cache?? October 22, 2007

I agree that the AMD X2 dual core chips are all good (I have a 5600+), but Amazon should be more clear that the ones they are selling above (4400+) carry only a 512KB L2 cache PER CORE for a TOTAL of 1MB. In the early days of the X2 chips, AMD produced a limited run with 1MB L2 per core, but due to production yields, costs, and enterprise commitments, all the newer ones (mid-2006 and on) now carry 512KB per core. A 4400+ with total 2M L2 cache is rare and more expensive.
Having said that, the 4400+ presented here will perform great. I build systems and often use this same chip as it offers a great combination of cost and performance. The difference in L2 cache sizes *may* equate to a VERY slight average increase in processing times over different tasks, but it's HIGHLY unlikely anyone would notice. AMD processors have excellent on-die memory controllers so the presence of a larger L2 cache is not as critical as it would be in Intel CPU's, where the architecture places the memory controller off the die.
not a socket 939 April 20, 2008

i was very excited today to have receive the processor for my socket 939 motherboard. when i opened the package i was disappointed to discover that i had been sent a socket AM2 processor instead. it was a great price, i guess too good to be true. if you have a socket AM2 motherboard i highly suggest jumping on this deal.
Great Performance at Excellent Price May 9, 2008

I used this CPU in two systems and proved to be the best performer at this price. You get the performance of Intel e4500 for almost half the price. I used it with GA-MA69VM-S2 for both systems and one of them is XP and the other is Vista. Both were running flawlessly. I used DDR2-800MHz. I only had to set the CPU Bus Speed to 209MZ to let the RAM run at full 800MHz speed which will put the CPU at 2.4GHz speed without any need to increase the Core Voltage.
