Great Performance Value
Purchased this 2 weeks ago as a replacement to an ageing AMD X2 4200, and simply what a difference. This new phenom II x2 is simply fast and amazing, games run loads better and from all the reviews it over clocks easily due to being Black Edition. Plus point over Intel is it can fit inAM3, AM2+ and AM2 boards subject to bios update from Motherboard Manufacturer. Don’t believe me check the reviews all over the web for this CPU, not one negative to be said about it.
