This is an excellent processor for those running Vista Home Basic or other applications using allot of RAM, but housing only 2GB or under in their computer. The dual core adds to stability and enables the system to better handle the load, becasue of the Cache. This model of the processor also operates at a much lower wattage than the other dual core models reducing heat, heatsink size, and allowing you to install into smaller machines like HP Slimlines. I purchased two of these replacing both a Sempron and Turion Mobile and can identify gains in processing speed and stability over Vista and XP. More noticable on Vista.
I bought it to replace the one that is in my Gateway desktop. it works fine.

Processor is by the best and with the best. AMD is one company that processes processors and they come out working.
My antiquated motherboard needed a little boost and this did the trick. HP didn't recommend using any model higher than the 3800+ in my AM2 socket for various reasons. I would have liked to go a little higher, but this is a huge step up from my old 3500+ single core processor!
Item great, delivery very fast, everything fantastic

works good for a low buget home theater pc that's what i bought it for. low temps make it easy to cool without large heatsinks that can be loud at times
I bought this processor because I wanted an inexpensive way to upgrade my system. The processor is definitely faster and smoother than my last AMD 64 (socket 775). I am happy with my purchase but dealing with this new processor (for me) has urged me to pursue the Phenom II X4, yeah!!!!
From reviews I've read the Athlon 64 x2 3800+ 2GHz easily overclocks to 2.4 with temps of 31C at idle and 38C at full load. I got mine to 2.3GHz stable using a stock am2/am3 heatsink. $18 for a 2.3Ghz dual core= Best bang for buck!
Bought this because i needed a faster cpu and my motherboard is pretty old so i didn't have many options. The cpu seems to work well time will tell if it holds up.
Great Deal
