It's the best value for a dual core AMD. It's only 1.8 ghz, but the cores have 1M cache apiece, and it's been shown to easily overclock to 2.6Ghz on air. Sweet.

According to the review, it lags a bit in some areas due to low frequency, but thanks to the cache, it really shines in gaming :nice:

I'm definitely getting one.
