AMD Athlon II X2 240 - Athlon II X2 Regor Dual-Core 2.8 GHz Socket AM3 65W Processor - ADX240OCGQBOX

Pros: Well all my techy friends said noooo dont get this little dinky cpu. You need to get a 200-300$ cpu for your gaming rig. I said no, and bought this cpu. It is amazingly fast and runs aion crysis etc all the newer high end games with ease. I had an instance of AION, FFXI, and counter strike source and had no lag in the games. Games are more dependant on your GPU anyway. Anyways 5 eggs, this is an amazingly fast cpu for 60$ and with free shipping its a steal.

Cons: It didnt come with a $1,000,000 Check inside. Darn it.

Overall Review: If your wondering about getting thermal paste etc. THe heatsink and fan that comes with this cpu has it already applied to the heatsink bottom, not the cpu.

Pros: I'm sure it would be great if it worked.

Cons: It didn't work.

Overall Review: I took my old proc out and installed this one, It wouldn't even go to the startup screen. After a few tried with no success I put old proc back in. It booted in just a few seconds! Newegg has helped me with this in the past, hopefully they can again. Im sure if I get another it will work.
