A single core powerhouse of the Gaming WorldStrengths: Very very fast, simple installation, very robust design metal plate, good multitasker, good value for money Weakness: None other than not being a dual core, included fan could be better quality It was a close race between this processor and the dual core 64 bit AMD 4400. In the end, the high performance relative to price of the processor won me over. I think once quad core come out the price for the duals will drop, until then this processor is on the short list. I have built several machines over a period of time and this is my first 64 bit processor, I will have to save CPU is much more refined then previous processor. I especially like the heavy metal heat distributor on the back of the processor far thicker and heavier than previous AMD models. You might strain a back muscle loading into your machine. The only other recommendation I could make is to go with an after market cpu fan, I have never been a fan of the stock retail fans that come with the processor. Would recommend anybody looking for a serious CPU and wants a better value than Intel. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

AMD Athlon 64 - 4000+ ProcessorStrengths: Fast and reliable with 64-bit capability for upcoming 64-bit software. For 3D and gaming, Athlon 64 is currently faster than Pentium 4. Weakness: Expensive. Unlike the FX-53, this does not have unlocked overclocking options. This processor is the FX-53 without the unlocked overclocking options. But it is also cheaper than the FX-53, and I don't plan to overclock anyways--I want to keep my PC quiet. 89% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Sep 12, 2006 SupReSeller - you're wrong. FX-53 is NOT a dual core processor. The first FX dual core processor was the FX-60. Please don't post when you don't know what you're talking about!

Sep 12, 2006 Oops, you're right. I don't know what I was thinking. :-P Good catch. I was probably drunk/asleep when I wrote that. I try to be helpful to first time buyers. If I could delete what I wrote I would.

ProcessorStrengths: High performance Weakness: None Although I was skeptical at first about using a 64 bit AMD processor, this chip exceeds my expectations. It runs very fast and the 2ghz FSB is fast enough to keep anything moving at optimal speed 72% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Athlon 64 4000Strengths: 2.4 GHz, 1MB cache, 64bit Weakness: 130 nm process I have been wanting this since forever. I just got to have it. With all the Dual Cores and Core 2 Duo's out there, this is plenty good for me and also the price is perfect comparing to the AMD single core FX series. Great! Did you find it helpful or unhelpful?

Best price/performance chip on the market
Strengths: 2.4 ghz CPU rips thru games
Weakness: none
Unless you want to spend another 5 Franklins on an FX chip, the AMD 4000+ is your best choice for choosing a gaming CPU. The price drops make this chip ultra affordable, and the speed and performance are remarkable for the money.
It's almost a shame that dual core CPU's are the wave of the future, but single core isn't dead yet and the 4000+ is AMD's fastest non-FX single core. I'll step up to dual core when the prices start to come down a bit for the >2.4 ghz models, but for now this chip is an ideal choice to perform your gaming or business tasks.
