Hello! I didn't buy a quad core one because 80% of the time I need a dual core that meets my software needs and when I bought it it was a good price. Either way, it works amazing! It has better non-overclocked performance than comparable Intel models and runs at a load of only 43°C. This processor always has 5 stars in about 250 reviews on Newegg!. Absolute truth! Highly Recommended!

I purchased this processor when my quad core processor on my home entertainment PC died. It's very efficient for that purpose, I overclocked it and it was even better. Great replacement, low power consumption and affordable processor.

Package arrived undamaged and was very secure in two boxes, aluminum and bubble wrap provide extra protection. The processor is another story because I can't test it, but the cute box presentation you get is quite an experience. Plus: Free small pack of thermal paste!

This is a great processor for those who want to build a moderately fast PC on a budget. With a clock speed of 2.9 GHz and only 2 MB of L2 cache, it is not very fast, but allows for problem-free multitasking when using everyday programs such as Microsoft Office. It's also powerful enough to run new games at moderately high settings, but of course that requires a high-end graphics card. All in all, this is a great choice for those looking for a reliable, fairly fast processor at a low price.
