Excellent processor!
Strengths: powerful, offortable.
I upgraded from 3800+ to 5000+. This is awesome processor. Handles multimedia tasks very well. I like AMD line of product. They are equally powerful and more affordable comparing to Intel processors.

Good cheap processor
Strengths: reasonable price, fast , good compatible motherboard is cheap
Weakness: lower cache compared to X2 5200
got it for cheap with free ecs motherboard. Is fast out of box. Easy installation, stock fan is pretty good. However when overclocked, conroe E6600 smokes it.
However if you buy intel, compatible good motherboards are expensive.
Spend $20 more and buy X2 5200 instead if you are looking for cheap fast system

AMD X2 Athlon 64 5000+ AM2 Socket
Strengths: very fast, lightning speed, wont need to upgrade in a long time
Weakness: cheap cpu fan included
I've never had a CPU as fast as this one. My computer can zip around and open programs like Adobe Photoshop and Doom 3 in a flash, no joke!

Amd 64 X2 5000+
Strengths: Speed, clocked at 2.60GHz stock..wow! I over clocked it to 3.00 with no probs.
Weakness: None
Price of this processor should be about $700 and Directron had it for $359. When I saw that price, I bought it on the spot. GREAT DEAL! I will be shopping here again...and using pricegrabber to find the best sites always.

Strengths: Would be a good buy if sold at AMD price.

Why are the merchants over pricing???

More power per dollar with Intel at this price.
