Fast CPU for the price
I have a HP Pavilion p7-1254 That came stock with a AMD A6 3620 2.2 Ghz quad core which had low FPS in GTA IV. I bought this to replace that, and it works great. I have it overclocked to 3.3 Ghz, and there have been no problems with it. I now have much better FPS, and my PC runs noticeably faster.

Incredible APU for the price
This quad core APU is an incredible value for the price. I use it in dual graphics mode alongside a low-cost Radeon HD6670 graphics card. Using this combo, I can run Dirt 3 at high settings at 1920x1200 resolution with decent frame rates. I couldn't be happier for the price.

great APU
this chip runs BF3 and all my other games perfectly. OC capable is nice, but not necessary for this chip to be fast. Good buy.

Locked up within a couple seconds going into bios
The original APU locked up a couple of secconds after going into bios and I didn'a have enough time to change anything. If I let it boot into the operating system, it would lock up after 5 or 10 minutes. Had to RMA it back to AMD. The new one I got for a replacement worked as it was supposed to. I have been building computers since 1992,using AMD CPU's and this was the first time I had any problem.

Perfect
It's running Sims 3 on medium setting with an acceptable FPS average. No external graphics card as of yet although probably necessary in the future. For basic gaming, and every day use, it's great!
