Product DescriptionThe AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor puts the power of dual-core technology on the desktop. Dual-core processors contain two processing cores, residing on one chip, that perform calculations on two streams of data, thereby increasing efficiency and speed while running multiple programs and the new generation of multi-threaded software. For user this means a significant increase in response and performance when running multiple applications simultaneously. The AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor outperforms the highest-performing AMD Athlon 64 4000+ single-core processor on multi-tasking benchmarks by up to 30%. Dual-core technology is like having two processors working together, each one taking care of different applications, so power-users actually experience greater performance when multiple applications are running. The AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core processor is designed for people who want to stay at the forefront of technology and for those who depend on their PCs to keep them connected, informed, and entertained. Systems based on AMD Athlon 64 processors are able to deliver leading-edge performance for demanding productivity and entertainment software today and in the future.

After a 2 week wait the wrong item was delivered. Was adveretised as a socket 939 but came through as AM2. Could not find a way to get the correct replacement. What's up with that?
Rating: - Very nice
AMD did a great job and I really enjoy my M2 CPU. I had a flawless install and it just zooms. Sure there are faster CPUs but the price and speed just makes it that much sweeter. I do have a certain amount of brand loyalty but AMD has consistently given me what I needed for a price I could afford for many years.

Amazon changed the discription here. I orderd socket 939 as advertised:
"AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4600+ 2.4 GHz Processor with 89-Watt Power Socket Number (939)"
It came as socket AM2!
It also took much longer to arrive then stated. I'm not sure if I will trust amazon to order computer parts again--big pain and I have to pay to return the product now--so I feel that I got ripped off here.

Simply amazing...have not had any issues as of yet. This is fast...I have not had to overclock it yet. It can handle anything I throw at it. I have set up a home theater and am using my computer to record HD tv shows and this CPU has not bogged down once. If you are on the edge think no further...buy this one!!
Rating: - Fast processor, cheap processor...
Great processor, this is a low price processor but works great; 2.4Ghz of pure power, easily overclockable to 2.8Ghz (but this may void your warranty!).
Pros: Low price, good performance.
Cons: You must be careful when choose mobo and memory a wrong selection can decrease performance of this processor.
