AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+

THE GOOD:
Multitasking is amazingly well handled since it's a dual core processor.

With the new Intel C2D chips this one has recently dropped a fair amount.

THE BAD:
The price drop happened sooner after I bought it than I expected...GRR!

SUMMARY:
I've been running this chip for a good few months now and have had no performance issues.

Games run very nicely and applications run spectacularly...even when there are a hole load of them going at the same time.

I'd say this is a great CPU and if you want to save some cash on an Intel C2D chip or need a new 939 CPU then this is certainly one to consider!

One thing I have noticed is that the 2 cores run at different temperatures...normally around 8C - 10C difference...although I don't know if that is a bad thing.
