a good upgrade choice

While the AMD processors are generally a performance notch above the older Intel alternatives with the AMD 64-bit architecture, the dual processor TL-60 was a nice upgrade recently to a Compaq V6000 which needed a new motherboard (S1 socket of course).

Great Buy

I got AMD Turion X2 Mobile TL60 2 GHz and it is the best buy. The thing was the best listed and the best price. It was a great choice.

AMD Turion 64 TL-60 Performance

After installing this upgrade from a 1.6 GHz single core, the performance increase was substantial. I noticed that tasks which took up up all of the computing power of my previous cpu were done with ease. There is no question that anyone with the ability to upgrade from a single core to this dual core should do so. However, the upgrade process is quite tedious in most cases, and should be done with caution. Even so, the upgrade is worthwhile, and should please any who undertake the process.

Some Minor Quality Control Issues

Bought the AMD Turion TL-60 processor to replace an intermittent CPU chip in a family member's notebook. This site seemed to have very good prices on used computer parts. The product shipped almost immediately and was packaged well, but upon inspection it was a little dirty and 3-4 pins were more than a little bent. It would not go in the socket. After carefully cleaning the chip and straightening the pins with pliers, the CPU was installed and is working fine. You would expect some laxness in quality control at these prices, and that is what I experienced.

TL-60 worked right out of the gate. Can't beat the upgrade for the money.

Recieved Processor as advertised by seller. Installed in my Compaq V6000 which previously had an MK36 processor. The TL-60 worked fine with no problems. The computer is now much faster when conducting multiple processes.
Note, most blogs do not recommend trying to use a processor ending in DMC for an MK36 processor. But I tried it anyway, as the processor was very inexpensive and I did not have much to lose.
