Review on AMD Athlon II X2 270 Regor 3.4 GHz Socket AM3 Dual-Core Processor – Retail ADX270OCGMBOX: High-Performance Desktop CPU with Dual Cores and 2x1 MB L2 Cache by Hanh Bach ᠌

I needed to upgrade from a Sempron 3000+ that was 5 years old, so I purchased a new one that was a Sempron 3000+ (1.6 GHz, AM2, Manila). After I updated the BIOS, it started up without any issues, and considering that I don't play games very often, the performance of the processor is more than sufficient. I can run Autocad and video encoding to mp4 under Nokia 5800 with no problems at all. It is true that the percentage was not loaded at 100% when the conversion was taking place; perhaps the hard drive became the bottleneck. The following generation, the Buldozer, will be AMD's focus, and it will support DDR4 =)
