AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Processor ADA5600CZBOX
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.

I am very happy with this processor, it runs like the wind, no lag at all. I hasn't overheated on me yet and i don't think it would. I strongly recommend this product. Thx TD.

This processor surprised me having built a system based on the 64 754 socket. I tried to slow this processor down, and got bored trying. Another great chip from AMD. Runs nice and cool too.

best processor in its price range in my opinion. ive gone through a couple of builds and this is the fastest one that i have ever put in. this coupled with an 8600gt and 2 gigs of ram = over 80 fps on almost all of my games at max on 1600x900

This CPU is really fast. At a fraction the cost that intel it packs a lot of punch. I don't regret getting AMD one bit even though nearly everyone hates on it. It's really fast. 2mb cache is good. But I wish AMD would make more cache for their CPUs.
Shifting through programs is easy for this CPU.
I run Vista.
Get a lots of RAM

only sell NEW processors purchased direct from the manufacturer or from factory
authorized distributors. We will never sell a "pull" (which is a CPU
removed from an assembled system at some manufacturing plant) or a used processor
as other online vendors do without telling you. We are the largest CPU reseller
in the Country, we offer the lowest prices in the industry on processors because
we deal in such great volume. If you are comparing our price against another
site with a much lower price, you are probably buying returns or pulls. Only
accept genuine quality, buy from Us.
VERY
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING OUR RETURN POLICY ON CPU'S:
Please note that all processors may be returned only for defective exchange.
You must purchase a compatible heatsink and fan on the same order as the processor
