Overview

The Amd Athlon X2 5200 review provided great economy for power and speed with a price that you just can't beat. Many people held off on the 64 bit turnover just to see if it was worth all the hype to upgrade to yet another new computer system. Not every invention is built the same, but when a good one comes along you just can't keep your hands off it!

THe AMD Athlon X2 5200 review shows you that this is not a 45nm computer cpu. Even though it is 65nm, you must remember it is not an Intel Core processor that makes enough heat to keep you warm in the frozen tundra. AMD has refined their modifications for chip size and have a nice cooling technology that utilizes cores only when needed. This takes down the amount of work, watts and heat from the computer cpu. Now that is nice technology. You can find other great information in my cpu reviews.

All of these great technologies from an older computer cpu is great, but can it do what you need it to do. Yes, it can do that and more. Playing games, business software, web development, graphical design you name it. It can and will get the job done without bringing up your electric bill! At the current moment this is a great option for a cheap upgrade and many people have been purchasing this cheap computer processor because of that fact.

Price

The Amd Athlon X2 5200 can be purchased for around $70, which is an excellent price only found online. You won't find a computer cpu this old at a retail store. They only sell the upper price computer parts before they drop in price after the first 6 months. Who can make a profit off an old product while paying employees.....not them!
