Great processor for little money! I am very happy with mine, overclocked it to 3.25 GHz, which is the maximum I can get for stable 24/7 usage. That settings fit perfectly with 1666 MHz RAM and all. Love it.

Oh boy, the old days are so much better. I got this and showed it off to my friends... Now its like garbage...

@elegantlywasted100 L3 cache will only add something about 15% max on overall performance

bought this about 2 years ago.. maybe a month more or less.. and still i am playing any game i want...combined with a HD5770 and 4GB ddr3 ram.. medium settings or higher most of the time 1080p sometimes 720p with 2xAA. no oc-ing nothing, amazing =D

i am totally happy with a cpu for 100 euro's.. never expected to still be playing games at fine settings and fps.

@rs200000000000 To be absolutely sure, you go to the asus site, you type your mobo model and see which processors are supported.

[elegantlywasted100]

No L3 cache
