Fast, Runs very cool w/ AMD's "Cool n Quiet", 64-bit allows for better future compatability, and a super good value!
Bad Points
None!
General Comments
I am using an AMD Athlon 64 3000+. This processer is definitely a great buy. It is very fast, the only problem with its speed is probibly that it is TOO fast! Not only is it priced lower than its competetor, but it is also has future compatability with 64-bit games and programs! When 64-bit games and programs start coming out, the speed will even more be noticable. Right now, just as the 3400+ comes out, the 3200+ has dropped in price. Either one is a great buy, and I'm sure you will be happy with the performance of this processer.
Another feature of this processer is AMD's "Cool n Quiet" setting. This underclocks the processer when not in use, allowing for temperatures as low as 34 degrees C. This drastically increases the processer's life and, with an ajustable fan, decreases noise from the computer.
This is currently the best processer you can purchase, but I would recommend to wait for a month or two until the 939 socket comes out for you gamers... which will support DDRII, PCI Express, and Dual Channel memory (non-registered).
On average, people found this review very helpful
