Great price/performance balance
Reviewed by James Preston. Review Posted 23/11/2009
I’ve always been a AMD guy and I certainly have nothing bad to say about this new line in processor.
I have it running Windows 7 Professional 64bit with 4GB of RAM on an Asus motherboard and even under full load the temperature never goes over 45 degrease. I’m particularly pleased about the included virtualisation support which I am using with Sun Microsystems Virtual Box.
Inside the box is the usual AMD deal with the CPU, Heat sink/Fan and a certificate of authenticity.
