I bought this my AMD Athlon 64 with an Asus K8V Deluxe back in June, I have so far had no problems with the processor. The installation is very straightforward and after that there is nothing you have to worry about.
I have my processor overclocked to 2.25 GHz on turbo mode. I wouldn't recommend doing this if you do not have ample cooling for the processor. The heatsink is not suitable to cool it at that frequency. I have to fans in the case for extra cooling.
Games work very well on the processor, if you have a good video card. I need an upgrade my Ati 9000, to a newer card to play the more detailed games like Far Cry, and the upcoming Doom 3.
With this processor you need a good 256 MB Ati or Nvidia to be able to play Doom 3 well with this processor and about 512 DIMM.
