The processor was working great right up until the DFI Lanparty motherboard it was installed in failed, now going for modern gear and giving up on older gear

Very nice little retro CPU. I have it paired with 4GB of DDR memory and an 7800GT SLI setup, great for retro Windows XP gaming.

This processor works like a charm and have helped increase my system performance by almost 30% (I was using an old Athlon 64 3200 (not X2 tought). Since I didn't wanted to exchange mobo and memory, it was a very reasonable choice for the price.

A couple of years ago I built a new PC based on the Asus A8-NE motherboard to handle multi-tasking software, six HDD, and various other hardware - strictly for work, this was NOT a gaming machine. Runnning XP SP2 it behaved well but the AMD 3400 CPU struggled at times, particularly when handling big graphics.Rather than re-build the machine I opted to try an AMD 64x2 4200. The motherboard is actually only rated to 3800 but the general opinion was that it could cope. I bought the new CPU as an unboxed OEM item at a superb price from the USA. Installation only took a couple of minutes and the system accepted its new "heart" with absolutely no problems. The difference in handling multi-tasking is significant [even running 32 bit software] and for such a simple upgrade well worth the effort. Despite numerous comments on the web regarding these CPU's running hot I have never had problems. With the same cooling used by the single core 3800 it has never exceeded 40'C, even at full chat. I've used AMD for ten years now and will certainly continue to do so.Read full review
