AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Processor ADA4200CUBOX
Frustrated by staring at the hourglass icon as soon as you try to work on more
than three programs at once, especially when you’re working with digital media?
Increase your performance with the AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 dual core processor. Work
or play with multiple programs without any stalling or waiting. Dual-core technology
is like having two processors, and two working together is better and faster
than one working alone. Do more in less time with the AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual-core
processor.
Next Generation Platform is Here
Socket AM2 from AMD is designed to enable next-generation platform innovations
such as AMD Virtualization and high-performance, unbuffered DDR2 memory to the
award-winning AMD64 architecture. This new technology is for prosumers and digital
enthusiasts who are looking to run sophisticated, multiple processor-intense
applications simultaneously. With socket AM2, AMD brings new capabilities like
AMD Virtualization to both commercial and consumer users. Virtualization on
desktop computers allows a single PC to act like multiple virtual machines.
AMD Virtualization can enable client computers to seamlessly support multiple
operating environments. Therefore, IT managers can now gain the ability to develop
and test software across multiple operating systems on a single computer to
facilitate software migrations, isolate business and personal operating environments
to increase security and reliability, and to initialize and manage client computers
with less interruption to end users. AMD Virtualization helps make it easier
for PC enthusiasts to upgrade and maintain their PCs through emulation.
New DDR2 Support Jump Starts Transfer Rates
DDR2 memory is the next generation of DDR memory that supports the open standards
efforts of the Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC), the governing
body for integrated circuit specifications. It uses an advanced signaling scheme
that can offer higher data transfer rates than DDR1 memory. The advanced signaling
scheme mentioned above allows high transfer rates using traditional PC motherboard
manufacturing techniques. DDR2 benefits to customers include lower voltage and
higher frequency headroom than DDR1 memory. Socket AM2 processors from AMD will
support DDR2 speeds of 400MHz, 533MHz, 667MHz and, for AMD Athlon™ 64 X2
dual-core and AMD Athlon™ 64 FX dual-core processors, 800MHz.
Like all the processors in the AMD Athlon 64 family, the AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core
processor is designed for people who want to stay at the forefront of technology
and for those who depend on their PCs to keep them connected, informed, and
entertained. Systems based on AMD Athlon 64 processors are able to deliver leading-edge
performance for demanding productivity and entertainment software today and
in the future.

AMD Athlon™
64 X2 Dual Core
Like all the processors in the AMD Athlon 64 family, the AMD Athlon 64 X2
Dual-Core processor is designed for people who want to stay at the forefront
of technology and for those who depend on their PCs to keep them connected,
informed, and entertained. Systems based on AMD Athlon 64 processors are
able to deliver leading-edge performance for demanding productivity and
entertainment software today and in the future.
HyperTransport™
Technology
HyperTransport™ technology is a high performance, easy-to-implement
system interconnect technology originally invented by AMD. It is designed
to increase overall system performance by removing I/O bottlenecks, increasing
bandwidth, and reducing latency. HyperTransport technology implemented in
the AMD Athlon™ 64 FX processor enables a system bus to run at 1600MHz.
AMD Cool‘n’Quiet™
Technology
In the past, increased processor performance has often meant increased power
consumption and increased noise levels. AMD Cool‘n’Quiet™
technology is an innovative solution available on AMD Athlon™ 64 processor-based
systems that can effectively lower the power consumption and enable a quieter-running
system while delivering performance on demand, for the ultimate computing
experience.
Enhanced
Virus Protection
All AMD64 processors, including the AMD Athlon™ 64 FX, AMD Athlon 64,
and Mobile AMD Athlon 64 processors, are enabled with Enhanced Virus Protection.
With Microsoft® Windows® XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), you will be able
to fully utilize the security technology*. By providing extra security at
the platform level, AMD lets you easily embrace the future of computing.

This CPU is working great for me. I over-clocked it to 2.6 GHz on stock cooling without any problems. It runs Vista good and DVD encoding is done in a snap. I would recommend this if youre looking for a good budget CPU.

SAME AS LAST GUY... i had a single-core Celeron 2.93GHZ before, BIG difference!! Only problem is that temp. gets kinda high w/manufacturer fan, it goes up to 43-42C after running BF2142 or similiar things (course I OC-ed mine a little up to 2.41GHZ)
I have never seen CPU usage go over 60%, w/ my old Celeron it went up to 100% alot.

This is my first AMD and my first dual core.....all I can say is WOW I had a P4 2.4GHz single core before, I think this thing is faster using one core. I wasn't sure about AMD at first but after comparing speeds and prices and talking to some people I'm glad I got this AMD and saved about 40-50 bucks verses the Intel of similar speed.........AMD rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This processor runs well and cool with the shipped fan and thermal paste. I haven't thrown anything extreme at it, but it's performed flawlessly working with my video editing and gaming.
Heat Sinks - Many Shapes & Sizes!
A heat sink (or heatsink) is an object that absorbs and dissipates heat from
another object using thermal contact (either direct or radiant). Heat sinks
are used in a wide range of applications wherever efficient heat dissipation
is required; including for CPUs, Memory, Video Cards, and more.
Heat Sink Shapes Change!
Many products come with a Heat Sink, and some with a combination Heat Sink
and Fan. Keep in mind though, that manufacturers are constantly
improving the design of their cooling components, thus the shape and design
of the heat sink or heat sink & fan can change on any product at any time.
PLEASE NOTE:
Cooling Components Can Change At Any Time, And Do Not
Affect The Performance Or Specifications Of The Product.
How Do Heat Sinks Work?
Heat sinks function by transferring high temperature thermal energy (heat)
from one object (such as a CPU chip) to a second object (such as the Heat
Sink), which has a lower temperature, with a much greater heat capacity.
This rapid transfer of heat quickly balances the temperature of both
devices, lowering the temperature of the first. This is what makes a
heat sink a cooling device. Since room temperature is usually cooler than
the hot device, the Heat Sink helps cool the device, lowering its temp to
closer to room temperature.
The most common design of a heat sink is a metal device with many fins or
vanes. The high thermal conductivity of the metal combined with the large
surface area of the fins does the work to rapidly transfer heat to the
surrounding, cooler, air. This cools the heat sink and whatever it is in
contact with. Some Heat Sinks use the metal alone for cooling, some
use fluids (just like you car radiator) and a thermal interface material
(such as thermal gel) to ensure maximum heat transfer to the heat sink.
Adding a fan dramatically improves air flow, and improves the heat transfer
even more.
Remember The
Thermal Paste!
Remember that when you are adding a Heat Sink, you MUST USE
thermally conductive Gel or Paste, to form a good thermal contact between
the Heat Sink and the Device. Failing to use this will result in
reduced cooling, and possible failure and damage to the device!

Your CPU is the heart of your computer. Keeping it cool improves
performance and prevents damage. Be sure you have a good CPU cooling
product!
