Review : Cracking little processor
Bought this processor for our home PC as I was in the process of upgrading it to a better spec. I have always bought AMD processors and never had any issues with speed/compatibility etc. This model was bought as a triple core processor but my Gigabyte motherboard came with a utility which allowed me to unlock the last core so giving me quad core performance for quite little outlay.

So far I haven't noticed any issues as a result of unlocking the last core (sometimes they are disabled due to technical or fabrication reasons) and as a result Windows 7 64bit Pro runs really quickly.

For a home PC which doesn't require the latest and greatest i7 quad core overclocked CPU to run the latest games I would thoroughly recommend this one. It's fast, stable, runs Windows or Linux and doesn't cost the earth. Of course like all things PC, items such as this are quickly redundant. As I write this review I'm sure prices have changed and the processor has been superceded by...
