Customer Rating: 
Summary: Black box overpriced
Comment: Black box, no heatsink or fan. Can get complete with heatsink and fan from N***** for less than $70!
Customer Rating:
Summary: 3.0ghz overclocked with no special cooling systems
Comment: You can over clock this by setting the multiplier to 15X and the voltage to 1.375 volts and get a very stable computer with only a 15 dollar fan :)
The results: 3.0ghz
With a special cooling system I can see upwards of 3.2-3.3ghz
Overall: Get this! Now! :)

Summary: Good upgrade option! nothing more...
Comment: [...]
You can buy this if:
1. You are an AMD fan and want only an AMD processor
2. You are specifically building an AMD system or that you are upgrading a older AMD system
3. Looking for the overclocking feature at a lower price point
Otherwise, the current crop of Intel processors (core 2 duo or quad core) outdo in terms of performance as well as power usage. In the 4th page of the review in Tom's hardware - there is a comparison of power usage that shows Intel cpus showing similar performance at 45 watts or so, compared to this CPU's 67 watts.
Also other points to note:
1. While this CPU is quite cheaper at < [...]$, you need to spend an additional [...]$ for a good CPU FAN!
2. In addition to this, depending on the mother board, you may have to buy additional video cards (if you are a gamer, this doesn't apply to you - you are anyway going for the top of the line video card out there!)
Finally, you need to consider the entire system cost and performance together with motherboard + cpu + memory + video as a whole and take your pick.
I bought a MSI K9A2 CF-F V2 for this processor (building a system for a good performance system for computing). ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YEMKNW ). While it is a great motherboard ( I wanted those extra PCIE slots!) it lacks built-in video support and so my total cost went up. I am still happy with it, because at the end of the day, I have a good system anyway.
