ok so i just got this cpu after hours of reviews and some of them where good but most of them are bad, im truely suprised by it, it installed my windows in 4 minutes from start to loading windows, my programs almost installed as fast as it took me to click the install button it runs at about 28c while installing and surfing the internet so im pretty sure temp will be low when playing games. but i cant get the amd overdrive program to install, and nividia ntune dont show the cpu or any of my system specks besides the gpu, im running just regular windows xp with no sp's installed, im thinking sp2 will fix a few of these problems so well see, but for the most part im really supprised with this cpu espically since i got it for 85 in a combo deal, so far it seem way faster then my q6600 system but im only going buy the install time and how fast the programs install so far, but ima bench it and see what i can get outa it, i also have the tlb patch disabled in the bios, was that supposed to be enabled or disabled?. after all the crap i read about it and how its slow and all this i have no clue what anyone is talking about really, cause its pretty fast, hopefully this chip will overclock to at least 2.6 2.7 for me, just wanted to share what i though about this so far thanks for reading ^_^
