Excellent upgrade for single core gaming systems
I had Athlon 64 3200+ single core cpu, and I felt that my 2005 system was cpu-limited, the cpu was bottleneck in video game performance, whenever intensive AI, particle, physics calculations were going on, the frame rate dropped sharply even though the video card Radeon HD 4800 256 bit 512 mb is more than capable rendering the scene. Second core is a must for modern games like Skyrim, or the video card will not work at its full potential and waste time waiting on a busy cpu.
Installing this dual core cpu was effortless, it did not even require any BIOS updates for my ASUS A8N-E mobo. The temperature is fine with the stock cooler, 40 C idle, up to 55 C at heavy dual core load.
Now with this dual core cpu gaming experience has drasticly improved, open world games like Skyrim run very smooth, I'm even tempted to increase video settings; cpu intensive games like Company of Heroes are now performing nearly twice as fast in heavy battle scenes. While previously 'I lagged through' big battle scenes, now I can actually play them.
Overall, a great buy. I feel I have balanced the system components, and now they all can be pused to work with their full potential. This means that with this purchase I have actually 'unlocked' a part of my video card that I did not use in order to minimize cpu load.
Also the system is now capable of new utilities.
Previously unplayable games, unwatchable HD videos. Also it dobles the video processing performance which is important if you engage in video editing. Ofcourse it even has some benefits in everyday browsing experience and OS navigation.
Im getting all this serious performance increase for 35$, which is just a small fraction of what all the other system components are worth total.
This is the most extreme price/performance ratio I have ever recognized.
I hope the cpu lasts long and happy life onboard :^)
