AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4200+ 2.20GHz Processor

AMD Atholn 64 X2 4200+ Dual Core Processor

Strengths: Really cool running processor. Very stable.

Weakness: None

I have mine installed in an ASUS M2-N motherboard I have it over clocked 7.5% still runs cool and stable. I built this machine in March 2007, have not had a problem. I am amazed how fast it runs. Even a year later.

Athlon 64 X2 4200+

Strengths: Inexpensive - Low operating Temp With Supplied Stock Cooler - Energy Efficient At 65Watts - Overclocks Well - G2 Stepping

Weakness: None For The Price

I own several AMD and Intel processor based computer systems and they both have there pro's and con's. By far the AMD 4200+ processor has the price advantage over the Intel processor. Runs cool, can easily hit 2.8 GHz with a good overclocking motherboard and is priced right for a budget build or HTPC computer. Installed this processor in a GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H for a nice HTPC computer....

Works Great

Strengths: Cheap, Stable, Runs cool and quiet

Weakness: none

I used this CPU for my new (budget) build. It's definetly not the latest/fastest processor on the market, but it gets the job done. I could clearly see the improvement from my old Athlon 3000 . I am finally able to watch blue-ray movies on my pc with no stuterring. Overall, it's a very nice CPU for the price. You won't be dissapointed.
