Summary: Ordered this as an upgrade processor for my current system. Nice peformance bump in all my current apps and games. Only issue was one of heat.
Intel > AMD, except for video encoding on a budget + overclocking

Summary: The best AM3 chip to get - overclocks well, hexacore isn't worth the extra cost when nothing is threaded for 5-6 cores and 1-4 threads is same on x4 and x6.

Summary: Great processor. Runs fast and quiet under regular working conditions. Isn't the giant leap from my Athlon II X2 250 that I was expecting, but I am still pleased.
Summary: good processor for the price, i bought it to build my new clon pc, it runs very good, not overclocked yet because i didnt need to do it for the use i gave it, who like
not a bad cpu, but this baby gets hot way to quick.

Summary: my buddy owns an i5-2500k rig and his cpu barely hits 40 celsius under full load OC @ 4.8ghz. my amd 955 OC to only 3.6 ghz hits 45 celsius within 5 minutes of gaming.
Summary: Nice to have 4 cores under the hood. Works as advertised, no problems. Matched with a capable board, unlocking the cores was effortless as is the over-clocking potential.
