Had one of these for socket 939 right after I first became a member in January '06. It lasted me a while and served me well.
I had it overclocked to 2.4GHz, 2.6GHz, and 2.8GHz on an ASUS A8N5X and an ASUS A8N-E.
Comparatively very slow these days. Stock speed of 2GHz is decent enough, but you WILL notice its limitations very quickly in most newer games.
Was an excellent processor in its day and I have no regrets about owning one.
Upgraded from a 939 3800+ to an AM2 4400+. Definite increase in power. But not a big jump.
Anyone with one of these will want to upgrade pretty soon. It is quickly becoming obselete.
I recommend a higher clocked X2(5000+ and up) or a Core 2 Duo if you want a noticeable increase in performance.
