  Good Points: Good performance

  
  

  Bad Points: Only 256K L2 cache, overheats

  
  

  General comments: I have Athlon XP 1900+ (1.6GHZ) processor that is based on Palomino core.
  With special copper heatsink, temperatures do not rise more than 60 oC on 100% CPU load, but with standard one it climbs to 75 oC.
  Nice processor, stable and reliable (with special heatsink and no overclock), good performance.
  It still can run a lot of modern 3D games (with good display adapter).
  
  My CPU equipped with special copper heatsink and powerful fan that does a lot of noise (almost like air conditioner, even more than my server that has twice the fans).
  Such a computer can not work in bedroom at night, but it is still good for most of 32bit applications.

  The AMD Athlon XP processor is great. 2.0 (well, more precisely, 1.99) gHz means good performance, and is just what most people need.
  It can cope with all the latest technology demands, from gaming to Google Earth!
  
  My average CPU temperature is around 55c, but I guess that's good considering that my advanced hard drive gets to some 200c! I guess it's just a lack of ventilation in my PC. In my case my processor had a very large aluminium heatsink (which would be better if it was a copper + al ...

  Now I'm using a AMD Athlon XP Processor 2400+ T-bred and i found that it can easily leave a P4 2.4 in the dust. It actually get a higher score than the P4 2.6 . I have always used AMD( from 1993, a 386 processor) and i've had one intel processor which didn't have the power to please me (intel pII 300 mhz)

  I got a pc with AMD Athlon XP 2200 with six 8cm fans. I still not satified with the high temperature (65C!!!). However AMD is cheap. If give me a chance again, i will get Intel chip because i can't stand the noisy fan in my pc.... i can't sleep at night if i switch on my pc!!!!

  I have no idea what all the Intel Posse is bickering about when it comes to commenting on the AMDs. I am running an AMD Athlon XP 1800+, with 512 DDR and a Gigabyte 7VRX M-B and a GeForce2 vid card. My machine runs like a bullet. Rarely a problem, and when there is one, it is usually software related and has nothing to do with the hardware. I work with P4s at the office, day in, day out, and they come nowhere near the AMD (and we're talking P4 2.0 and up machines). If anyone is looking to make a ...

  I have an AMD Athlon XP 2GHz processer and the speed its brilliant.
  I used to only have a Intel 433MHz processer and i can tell the diffrence as soon as i bought this processer.
  I recommend it to anyone who wants a good processer.

  The AMD Athlon XP Processor offers a great performance/price ratio.
  Fantastic floating point performance. It is actually fast in general.
  One little problem I think, relates to the thermal protection which looks slightly unreliable. And also a shame about all the rubbish VIA chipsets...

  As a student with a limited budget you may think I am crazy but I really wanted to get some decent processor performace behind my PC and the Duron I purchased 4 months back was only a tempory solution until I had saved for something bigger and better.
  The AMD Athlon XP1800+ was a sound investment for me, and I was very pleased that AMD had stuck with the Socket A design for longer (it seems as if Intel change motherboard far too often, leaving customer stuck with dated technology).
  As I had pu ...

  The AMD Athlon XP processor is amazing, i can not believe something so small can do so much. I bought the 1600+ and benchmarked it against a friends 2GHz Intel and my Athlon 1600+ XP beat hit machine with out breaking a sweat!!!
  
  I Highly Recommend the Athlon XP to everyone, even to hard core Intel users who refuse to see that they are beat :-)
