Even though there are not many...
Strengths: Everything about this processor is a strength. Even the price is lower than what Intel would ever bring out. The biggest strength is the extra 512KB of L2 Cache that this processor brings on board.
Weakness: The biggest weakness right now, is that there aren't really any programs out there to use with the 64-bit processor.
Even though there are not many programs designed for 64-bit processors, this processor works to make your 32-bit experience better. Until I bought this AMD processor I had always been a huge Intel fan, but since then, all of my home computers and business computers have been switched over to the AMD Athlon 64 3200+. I enjoy everything about this processor and recommend it to not just gamers, but...

Purchase of extra cooling devices...
Strengths: comparable to intels 3ghz with HT, with consistent case temperature, and runs halflife and halo very smoothly with radeon 9600. stellar reviews from experts with 32 and 64-bit compatability
Weakness: Minimal overclocking capabilities with stock fan and heatsink. Where are the 64-bit compatible programs?????
Purchase of extra cooling devices is an excellent idea to use processor to its full potential. The elimination of the FSB clearly improves performance. AMD proves once again that it is the processor of gamers.

ZipZoomFly and NewEgg can get one...
Strengths: Yes, it's a good CPU. And, yes, it's fast. Good job AMD. Keep up the good work. (Down fanboys, down! Heh heh.)
Weakness: Pricey but worth it. Gone are the days of the cheap AMD chips. But, it offers good performance for the price.
ZipZoomFly and NewEgg can get one in your hands now. Let me just add that the box a friend has it in runs superbly. But, gone are the days of the cheap AMD CPU. Is it fast? Undoubtedly. Good chip. The price will come down over time erasing my only minor gripe. The Athlon64 series is definitely something to watch for all real world users as well as the enthusiast crowd.

I got this processor for my...
Strengths: fast, stable, runs cool, and 64 bit
Weakness: no 64 bit software yet
I got this processor for my birthday about a month ago. i have it installed to the gigabyte k8vnxp motherboard. the processor and this board run very stable. No signs of weekness yet. it is incredably fast. with the stock heatsink it runs on average about 29 degrees celsuis which is 84 degrees ferehiet. this is impressive to me becuase my old amd athlon 2100+ ran at about 55 degrees celsuis. I...

Installing Windows XP Professional...
Strengths: Though the clock speed rating is 2GHz, it feeles like it's running at 2.6 to 3 GHz. Getting rid of the FSB prabably helped!
Weakness: The price is a bit on the expensive side...
Installing Windows XP Professional took 45 min (including formatting hard drive and downloading Windows Updates)! The Athlon 1.4 GHz takes about 3-4 hours!!!
I am using this with the Asus K8V Deluxe motherboard. It is sleek.
Overall this is the best CPU. It kicks the Pentium's butt big time!!!
