AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 4200+, 2.2 GHz (ADA4200DAA5BV) OEM / Unboxed Processor

So i sold my old PC thinking i wouldn't return to a PC ever again because i bought my Playstation 3 console from ebay and this does everything that a PC does but much more faster.

But only to realise when the UK PS3 Launch day came out, i had been robbed blind and scammed doh! so i had to look for a new PC until my money had been returned by ebay/paypal.

I saw a lovely 64 4200+ X2 bundle with 1GB DDR2 ram which i bought straight away at a very low price, my old PC was a 64 3500+ with 512mb DDR1 ram, so you'd think this upgrade made a difference, especially now because i have dual core over the single core, well... though i can see a bit of improvement i havn't fully tested the machines full capability as i havn't yet bought a graphics card.

Now, i've tested the processors powers on Vista Ultimate x64 and the operating system really adapts to dual core and the speed is amazing, it runs vista better than XP or 2000, i've done virus scanning, listening to windows media player and talking on Windows Live Messenger without any sign of lag, so comparing this to my old AMD 64 3500+ i'd give this processer a 9/10, but to compare this to any other processer this is deffinately worth a buy and it sells at low prices now!

Sorry for grammar and spelling, i'm not that great at writing reviews but i thought i'd give it a try.
