PERSONAL EXPERIENCE :
I have had this processor for just over a month now and it has not yet given me any problems. It does not overheat (I did not overclock yet) ever. I did notice a great difference in speed from the AMD Athlon XP 2500+ that I upgraded from. This processor blows all others far far away.

I performed some benchmarks with 3DMark 03 and 3DMark 05. I got a score of 5885 and with 3DMark 05 and 12657 with 3DMark 03 (actual data). My old AMD Athlon XP 2500+ used to get around 6573 for 3DMark 03 and 1678 on 3DMark 05 (actual data). These benchmarks are accurate as of September 10th, 2005. These benchmarks were performed on my new system (see specs below).

My computer runs way faster than my 2500+ and provides me with the capability of 64-bit computing for the future. I have installed Windows XP Pro SP2, Windows XP 64-Bit Beta, and Fedora Linux on my computer and even with two Windows installations on one hard drive, this processor does not even blink. Fedora Linux runs smooth and without any problems.


FINAL THOUGHTS :
I used to have an Intel Pentium based computer (my first computer) that my data bought back in 1998. It was fast (133MHz); at that time it was a state of the art computer. In 2003, I finally got tired of that old guy and decided it was time for me to upgrade to a much faster computer, so I built my very first system (2.2GHz); which was the fastest in its time. Then just about a month ago, I upgraded again to 2.4GHz (do not be fooled by the technical difference). It is only a 200 MHz upgrade technically, but when you use it, you will feel like there is a 1 GHz difference. I have notice major speed enhancements since I upgraded. My computer boots up faster, programs startup faster, and games run smoother. And on top of that, I am ready for the future with 64-Bit capability. Are you ready for the future? My AMD Athlon XP 2500+ was fast but this AMD Athlon 64 4000+ is just furious!
 

Pros
Fast, overclockable, reliable, and AMD!
Cons
None that I found.
Bottom Line
This processor does not know any boundaries...
