...all I can say is: [H].

Strengths: Just doesn`t get any better.;)

Weakness: I could of put a down payment on the boat I`m buying.

I`m new to AMD as I`ve been using an Intel 2.8 for the last 3 years.It`s overclocked on air to about 3.4 and I`ve disabled The H/T as it is useless to me.This overclock is quick but the FX-57 makes my hairs stand on end.All I must say that this is the most wicked chip out there for gaming!FX-57 RULES!!!

Nice Little Square

Strengths: Loads up any games (including F.E.A.R. and Doom3) in an instance.

Weakness: Sorry kids, looks like there's no Christmas this year...

Along with my GeForce 7800GT OC, I never thought I can play a high performance game and watch a DVD at the same time without having to worry about skipping or any choppiness. I did want to install a Big Water SE liquid cooling system, but for the price that I paid on the CPU, I think I'll wait until the 3-year warranty runs out.

The Athlon 64 FX Overclocked to 3 GHz

It's nothing new that the Athlon 64 offers at least the same performance as the Pentium 4 while running at a far slower speed.
