Athlon 64 FX-74 Processor
3.0GHz, 2MB Cache, 1000MHz (2000 MT/s) FSB,
Windsor, Quad-Core, Retail, Socket F (4 x 4), ADAFX74DIBOX, CPU w/Fan AMD Athlon 64 FX processors power the next innovation for the enthusiast
PC platform: The AMD Quad FX platform with Dual Socket Direct Connect Architecture.
The Revolutionary AMD Quad FX platform is the first dual-socket, multi-core
PC platform designed to take advantage of the latest enhancements in Windows
Vista™ Ultimate and for megatasking PC enthusiasts and power-users who run the
most demanding tasks simultaneously. The AMD Quad FX platform with Dual Socket
Direct Connect (DSDC) Architecture is ready for the most demanding multi-threaded
digital content creation software and for the next wave of incredibly demanding
multi-threaded games.
DSDC Architecture is AMD’s exclusive high-bandwidth interconnect for two
AMD Athlon 64 FX processors. The AMD Quad FX platform featuring two AMD Athlon™
64 FX dual-core processors with DSDC Architecture for megatasking can double
your digital media application performance over two core platforms. Adding another
processor doubles the cores, doubles available memory bandwidth—up to 25.6GB/s,
and doubles the amount of high-speed on-die cache.
With the AMD Quad FX platform you are ready for the multi-core, multi-threaded
future. The AMD Quad FX Platform is designed to offer a seamless upgrade path
from dual-core processors to quad-core processors. This offers an advanced four
core platform today and a planned eight core platform in the future. We expect
that Megatasking is the future reality of PC performance. Explore the possibilities.

Features
AMD Quad
FX Platform
The AMD Quad FX platform features two AMD Athlon™ 64 FX dual-core processors
and a total of four processing cores, with a path to upgrade seamlessly
to a total of eight processing cores when AMD quad-core processors are available.
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.
AMD Virtualization™
Next-Generation AMD processors are designed to help end the “one server,
one application” problem common in so many enterprises today. Most
servers operate at less than 15 percent capacity, yet they still consume
power and generate heat on a 24x7 basis. With native support for hardware-assisted
AMD Virtualization™ (AMD-V™), Next-Generation AMD processors can
help streamline the datacenter to achieve higher levels of efficiency and
utilization.
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 is a great processor! I have a Asus L1N64-SLI board and two 8800GTS 640MB SLI cards running with two of these processors, and the preformance is top notch. I do a lot of rendering and modeling with various 3d application, and I found that my workflow and render time have been significantly reduced. This processor reallys shines when you have access to all four cores.. only down side is that you will need to invest in some quality ram!! Running windows Vista Ultimate 64 ..overall experience rating 9.0

i agree with the other reviewer. i am a bandwidth hog. i have some serious apps running at the same time. before i would crash the most powerfull cpu. the amd laughs at me. i can dump video, compile, rip, surf at the same time. throw some serious ram at this cpu though, because it's quad band. i run 4gb. i dare you to try and crash this cpu.

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!
