This chip works very well and extremely fast. It idles at about 26-27 C and gets no hotter than 45 C at 100% load with the stock heatsink and fan. It gets detected and set up as a proper 64-bit SMP chip by many distributions, and if the distribution is not SMP or 32-bit capable, it will run just fine on one core or in 32-bit mode or both. AMD's Cool and Quiet processor-speed scaling is implemented and controlled well by cpufreqd.

Recognized as a two processor SMP system by the kernel, quite fast, and definetly helps with big compiles.

Awesome. Super fast, really heavy duty. Gives the most bang for the buck, as stepping up to the 4400 was a difference of almost $100.
