(More customer reviews)Upgrading from an Athlon 64 3700+ 939 to the Athlon 64 X2 5000+ AM2 shows noticable differences in performance at stock settings. Opening applications seems instant and start up and shut down times are so fast you can't blink or you'll miss them.
(I upgraded to Vista along with this processor and, to tell you the truth, Vista runs better than XP as far as I'm concerned. Computer starts up in less than 15 seconds {including motherboard bios screen} and shuts off in less than 6 seconds.)
I was able to overclock this processor from 2.6 GHz to 3.0 GHz without adjusting the voltage and it be stable. (I was able to do that due to there being no core multiplier restriction. Make sure your motherboard can do this before you purchase this processor!) I could easily get another .2 GHz out of this processor by messing with the voltage multiplier, still have a stock AM2 heatsink and fan on it, and it be stable. Not only that, but the processor temps were just over room temperature.
I haven't tested it, but if you have a very nice aftermarket heatsink and fan or watercooling in your PC, you might be able to get it to overclock further and be stable. I'm some what limited due to the processor being in a micro-ATX case as airflow and space are limited.
I dought you can find an Intel chip with this kind of performance at this price.
NOTE: This processor is built for the overclocker in mind as it doesn't come with a heatsink and fan. This would be the only con for this product if it could be considered a con.

Product Description:
Take multi-tasking to a whole new level with the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor theAMD Athlon Dual-Core processors. Dual-core processors contain two processing cores, residing on one chip, that perform calculations on two streams of data to increase efficiency and speed while running multiple programs and the new generation of multi-threaded software. For end-users this means a significant increase in response and performance when running multiple applications simultaneously. Dual-core technology is like having two processors working together, each one taking care of different applications, so power-users can actually experience greater performance when multiple applications are running. Digital media enthusiasts can usher in the next generation of digital media software for amazing high-definition video and photo editing, content creation, and audio mixing. With this processor, your PC can perform up to 80% faster than a single-core AMD Athlon 64 4000+ processor on the latest power-hungry digital media software applications. AMD Athlon 64 Processor Architecture Performance. HyperTransport technology can increase overall system performance by reducing I/O bottlenecks, increasing system bandwidth, and reducing system latency. A fully integrated memory controller helps speed access to memory by giving the processor a direct connection to the main memory. AMD Athlon Dual-Core processors are fully compatible with existing software, while enabling a seamless transition to 64-bit applications. Both 32- and 64-bit applications can run simultaneously and transparently on the same platform. AMD64 tech. enables new, cinematic computing experiences and capabilities, in addition to increased performance. AMD64 technology allows end users to take advantage of new innovations such as real-time encryption, more life-like games, accurate speech interfaces, cinema-quality graphic effects, and easy-to-use video and audio editing.
