Purchased this to replace my old 5000+ Black Edition CPU. This one is very good I can play all games on normal setting and some on high settings like Dirt 2. Bad Company 2 plays very smooth on medium settings. So if you want something for decent gaming this is a good CPU. Running Win 7 32-bit with a 8800 GTS 640MB video card and I love this CPU with no need to overclock. The temperature readings are also excellent reading around 32 degrees celcius during normal use and only going up to a max of 36 degrees after a while of gaming. I use this PC for pretty much everything from gaming to running several development server instances like SQL, wamp server and visual studio programming and this CPU can handle it all very smoothly.
This processor is perfect for my new windows 7 64 bit build, I would recommend it highly
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
This cpu can be unlocked into a quad core. When you do it correctly (with certain motherboards) can be unlocked in to AMD Phenom II x4 (denob or w/e it's code name is called). It requires a motherboard with a certain north and south bridge. (look on google). Essentially making this $70 dollar processor on newegg.com............. a $140 dollar processor for the un-enlightened.
Overclock to 3.2Ghz simple, I am sure it will go higher. Wish I could unlock the 6MB Level 3 Cache, or the 4th core, motherboard doesn't support it. I was concerned the 512k level 2 cache would hold it back, I can't notice a difference from a x2 260 with the 1MB cache.
Couldnt unlock though. Was easy to stably overclock or undervolt but didnt try to do both at the same time
