Stunning
operating system:Windows XPThis is a fantastic processor for the price. Performs very similarly to the Phenom II X2.
For reference it almost meets the performance of a core 2 duo E8400 (approx 5% slower in most tests, but faster in some).
However, it does so at HALF the price. quite literally. Plus with all the improvements of the Phenom II architecture and 45nm process, it overclocks exceptionally well, up to 3.8GHz air cooled.
It also performs similarly to the older phenom triple cores, making them even less desirable, as this core will run single threaded apps much faster.
Overall this is probably one of the best value for money chips around.
Ebuyer could do with moving it to the right category though. This is an AM3 processor, not AM2.
Does support DDR3 1600MHz!!
I can confirm that this processor does support DDR3 1600MHz in a 2x2048MB configuration and runs at 1600Mhz on an ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO.
I would recommend using Patriot G Series memory, PGS34G1600LLKA
Which is a 4GB DDR3 1600MHz dual channel kit with low latencies of 7-7-7-20 @ 1.7v
Revised opinion
operating system:Windows XPI have now got this working with 1066Mhz DDR2 memory. However, this required changing the BIOS setting on my motherboard to increase the multiplier from 2.0 to 2.66, as the default limits to 800 Mhz.
Very fast, currently running at 29C without any direct cooling.
Don't listen to anon above
operating system:Windows 7This processor will work with 1066 DDR2 information on the AMD site http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/processors/athlon-ii-x2 this is the information they provide Integrated DDR Memory Controller
Yes
Memory Controller Width
128-bit
Type of Memory Supported
X2 - Support for unregistered DIMMs up to PC2-8500 (DDR2-1066MHz) -AND- PC3-8500 (DDR3-1066MHz)
X3 and X4 - Support for unregistered DIMMs up to PC2-8500 (DDR2-1066MHz) -AND- PC3 10600 (DDR3-1333MHz)
so please don't listen to the above in regards to this product CPU is fast for the price give a windows 7 64 bit score of 6.4 without overclocking
