Found yale's review unhelpful
New pro/con: This processor is based off the k10 phenoms. It is actual a x4 with two cores turned off. You can there for OVERCLOCK this proc. faster than a quad core.
Agreed: "fast speed"
Agreed: "affordable price"
Agreed: "dual core is all you generally need these days - very few applications are written to take full advantage of any more"
Disagreed: "cannot be overclocked as high as AMD's top-of-the-line quadcore options"
Disagreed: "requires an AM2+ motherboard, regular AM2 users might not be able to take full advantage of this chip"
Disagreed: "high TDP - although fair, matches last generation while outperforming"
