I bought the 4-core Athlon II to replace an existing 2-core in order to experiment with KVM (kernel-based virtual machines) on Centos 7. I also bought some inexpensive RAM, a larger SSD, and a 2-port NIC. The combination has enabled me to build 3 VMs and learn more about KVM, which comes free with Centos and Fedora. Be careful when dropping the CPU into the ZIF socket. I bent a pin and it took me a few minutes with a magnifying light and some tweezers to straighten it back so I could more carefully drop it in. I appreciate the fact that some heat sink grease was supplied. I cleaned my existing heat sink with alcohol and it worked fine with the new CPU.

Rather than build a whole new computer with similar performance; decided to upgrade the processor from a dual to a quad core processor of the same speed (100% increase in capability) as well as the same for the RAM. It was cheap, affordable and easy to do since the processor is an older one, compatible with the motherboard I am using, a great one too. I did not have to worry about tinkering with bios settings, just a simple update to the software which was done automatically and everything worked perfectly. I am happy with this product.

I'm upgrading from a similar 2 core, since that seems to be the minimum you can get away with these days, for some applications. The process of upgrading was a piece of cake. I installed in onto the same AM3 board Ive used ofr years and haven't run into any problems with it running out of power or crashing, even though it only has a 4 pin CPU power connector. It even runs cool with my old CPU heat sink. Ive tested it with ConvertX2DVD 5 for hours and the thing never even gets warm (70F-80F). In my tests, I'm getting about 180 FPS for a single movie, and around 70-90 FPS - processing 4 at the same time, wow.

Was about to toss an old computer and decided to see if I could find a faster CPU for it. Ended up tripling the speed and a ridiculously low cost. CPU was pristine and shipping was fast. Thanks!!!

Bought and installed this cpu to replace a standard 2 core unit in an Acer desktop with an Nvidia chipset. The base CPU number was 6.1 for CPU and Memory, the 4 core unit took the CPU and memory numbers to 7.3, much faster overall.

This thing is OP! It made my old computer run so much faster! Excellent and exquisite. This fine piece of technology will speed your computer up to the speed of light in excesses of 186,000 miles per second.

This is a good way to "upgrade" your PC if you have a 2.6 or so CPU. Makes a NOTICEABLE difference in response!

It replaces the Athlon dual core (x2 250) but you have to have a 95 watt heatsink and fan. My internet download speed almost doubled.
