Tech Level Tech Level: average - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: for a sixty five dollar processor, this thing is a beast (when overclocked, that is). got it to 3.625 Ghz on my first attempt and is completely stable, idling at 26C. i'm satisfied until the tris and quads get a little cheaper
Cons: the heatsink is the smallest i have ever seen for a CPU, didn't even consider using it
Other Thoughts: if you spend money like a grandparent (as i do), this is a great buy at half the price of most other processors.
