Review on Athlon 240 2 8GHZ 45NM 4000MHZ by Toby Galbraith

This is a very good processor for the money. Much, much faster than my other Pentiums and Athlone, and at only $50-60 it doesn't seem like a bargain. I can edit photos/videos, surf the web and burn CDs/DVDs with no problems (CPU between 50% and 60). Even with intensive multitasking, the heatsink stays cool thanks to the standard fan and doesn't even get hot. My configuration: - This processor - Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H Micro ATX motherboard - Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 XMS3 4GB PC3-12800 Core i5 Memory Kit (yes, it also works on AMD systems) - Antec Sonata III with 500W PSU - Windows 7 - wd 1TB Caviar Black and 250GB wd ide hd
