PERSONAL EXPERIENCE :
I had about a week to put this computer together and test it out and as of now I did not find any problems or crashes of any kind. It does not overheat (my client did not want to overclock it just yet) ever. My boss said the computer is running very fast and has not problems with anything. I did perform some benchmarks with 3DMark 05 and 03. I got a score of 7125 with 3DMark 05 and 15134 with 3DMark 03 (actual data). These benchmarks are accurate as of December 17th, 2005. These benchmark scores do not mean a lot if you do not play games, but they are calculated with the CPU test scores at hand. The computer runs very fast with Windows XP Pro SP2 installed on it; it boots up in just about 10 seconds and becomes ready for use.


WARRANTY INFORMATION :
AMD provides a three-year limited hardware warranty that includes phone support. You can visit www.amd.com or dial (408) 749-3060 to get warranty support. You may be asked for the serial/model number and date of purchase for this unit, which can easily be found by following instruction in the manual or asking one of the representatives on the phone.


FINAL THOUGHTS :
After using this processor for a few days, I wish it was affordable so I could upgrade my own system. This is the best processor for your gaming rig, but not everyone can afford it yet. The AMD Athlon 64 FX-57 is a monster, it is impressive, and a top-notch high-end processor. For all the tweakers and overclockers out there, the multiplier is unlocked (whoohoo). Play around with it and the FSB for some fun, but I would not recommend overclocking a thousand dollar processor.

If you want a very fast computer and do not care too much about the price, I would highly recommend the FX series processors. You will definitely be amazed by the speed and power for these processors. Best of all, your computer will startup faster, all applications will run quicker, and you will be able to multi-task seamlessly.
