SO, WHATS HOT?
First and most importantly, the dual core computing makes this processor stand out from the rest and on top of that the high speed rating of this processor moves it almost ahead the long line of processors even more. Even though it is rated at 2.4GHz which looks lower than some single core processors but it feels ways faster as it has dual cores.

When you compare any AMD processor with its competitor Intel’s processors, you may think that AMD processor are slower (because of Intel’s higher speed ratings standards), but when you use these processor for yourself, you will notice that they perform way better than any Intel can and then some. I will always recommend AMD processors over any Intel just because they are easy to overclock, install, use, maintain, and plus they perform better too.

With these processors, your computer will boot up way faster (does not matter which operating system you have installed) and your applications will startup much quicker than you would normally expect. This is one of the fastest dual core processors I have had experience with and I am glad I got the chance with this new client of mine. If you cannot afford this Athlon 64 X2 4800+, I would highly recommend the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ or AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ as an alternative; they perform about the same but cost a lot less.

Many of my customers often ask me if 64-bit dual core processors actually are better than the 32-bit single core ones. I always assure them that it is the best way to go and once they try it for themselves, they know they will be ready for the future with great power and performance. If the client does not mind paying a bit more for the upgrade I would highly recommend the newer dual core FX-60 processor. I think the dual core processors are more powerful and they will probably stick around for a long time and replace the single core processors very soon.

This processor uses the 939 pin design like most AMD 64-bit processors. The 1024KB x 2 (2048KB or 2MB total) L2 cache memory will run the 2000MHz (1000MHz x 2) of FSB (Front Side Bus) with maximum performance. You will experience more power and speed if you combine this processor with the right motherboard that will speed up you DDR memory.


AND, WHATS NOT?
A full review is not complete without the cons or not so hot parts of the product. So now you are probably wondering that this processor is too good to be true… right? Well guess what, it is real and the performance and power is amazing. So I did not really notice or experience any problems with this processor. All AMD processors are very reliable and you can never go wrong with an AMD. I usually update all software, drivers, and games to make sure there are no problems. I do not like to take any chances with the systems I build, even though this one was for me. I would recommend that you check for driver and software updates at least once a month or as needed. I would also recommend updating your motherboards Bois regularly to keep it performing at its best and to remove any issues that exist.
