Great CPU! I've had two PC's with this CPU and they ran really well. They easily run Vista. What I really liked about it was that it could easily play 720p mkv files. With CoreAVC it can run 1080p mkv files as well. You can find these for $30-$35, so you can't beat the price.

I've got the same cpu. Never had any problems with it, as of yet & it's been over a year now. I haven't tried overclocking, may never do so. I'd recommend this cpu.

I have one of thease processors and i think it is the best thing that i have evr bought, very good proformce and very good value for money. this is good for gaming and good for a media center or just surfing the net. all round a very good processor. running temps under load are 40C witch is not bad at all. all so they have a good overclock on this cpu as i have seen people saying that they can get theres from 2.2ghz to 2.6ghz or 2.9ghz. good for all your basic commputer needs!!
