AMD Athlon 64

Since AMD started seriously competing with Intel in the late 1990's I have always bought them. Mainly because they are much cheaper, and in my opinion faster. Anyone buying an Intel is a fool in my eyes, they only get their processors in most machines by giving the major manufacturers a back hander. The AMD Athlon 64 is the latest CPU i have purchased, I have so far had no problems with the processor. As usual the installation was very straightforward and if you have basic computer hardware building skills there is nothing you have to worry about. Whats great about AMD cpu's is the ability to overclock them, and my processor is overclocked to 2.25 GHz on turbo mode. Of you really do need alot of cooling for the processor to overclock it to this degree. The heatsink is not suitable to cool it at that frequency. It's worked excellently with games such as FarCry.
