Strengths: - Dual core, 1MB cache per core - Lower thermal dissipation (89W vs. 110W) vs. standard 4400+
Weakness: None
Not much to say, other than this processor has been performing beautifully in my new system for about a month now. (Asus A8N SLI Premium, OCZ 2GB CL2 RAM, eVGA 7800GT) It's important to note that this 4400+ processor (ADV4400) is the lower TDP version of the "regular" 4400+ processor (ADA4400). The ADA4400 has a "thermal envelope" of 110W, while this one has an envelope of only 89W, which for...
Strengths: Super Fast
Weakness: Nothing much
This thing is great. I went from an AMD Athlon XP 3000+ to this AMD X2 4400. It's amazing. I can do everything at once without any slow down. The only slowdown I experience is when I am converting a video to a different format, burning a dvd, checking my computer for viruses, talking to friends on the internet, on websites on the internet, listening to music, and playing a computer game at the...
Strengths: Great multi-tasker; low temp; low power consumption
Weakness: Price still at 200 with C2Ds around. I'm usually more frugal. Rare chip.
If you're a bit computer-illiterate as I am, you might panic once you realize that your computer doesn't recognize the CPU as an X2 chip. If the computer does recognize the CPU as X2, then kudos to you. To rectify the former scenario, you MUST flash the BIOS of your motherboard. (To see if your computer recognizes the chip, go to control panel, performance and maintenance, system. If it says that...
Strengths: Has all the strengths of the ADA 4400+ but runs at 89 watts instead of 110 and has a wider temperature range.
Weakness: None that I am aware of.
This processor runs cool (about 33C average) with my Thermaltake Silent Boost RX K8 fan and heat sink. The only performance difference I have measured is that my computer takes about 7 seconds less to start up with this CPU over the Athlon 3200+ that was in this system. (Down from 48 seconds to 41 seconds.) Also there is a sense that having multi applications open doesn't affect the application...
Strengths: Fast, multi-tasking is a non issue.
Weakness: A little pricey. We're paying for their advertising budget as the R&D for the next generation processor is already well underway.
I have had not had any problems with this processor so far. Used a Athlon XP processor prior to this. I can notice a definite difference in speed, although my Athlon XP still does the job on 90% of what I do, this is faster and mult-tasking is a breeze. Installed with a Asus AN8 SLI Premium motherboard, two gigs of RAM, two SATA 10k Raptors and a BFG 3DFuzion GeForce 7600 GT PCI Ex video card....
Strengths: Great price = $226. Dual Core compatibility with older MBs. Fast & runs cool.
Weakness: Any fan but stock voids warranty, bigger concern for OC'ers (not me). Most of my programs aren't optimzed for dual core - yet.
I built my system on a budget (under $1k) about a year ago with the intent I could slowly upgrade components to lengthen the life of the computer. This CPU upgrade has been the best so far and install went flawless. Thermal compound is allready on fan and ready to go, flashed the bios and that was it; MB is an MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum. Stock fan is not silent by any means but is equal to previous...
Strengths: Good price now $230 89w vs 110W of the ADA version
Weakness: none so far
Great dual core and have only had a week and first attempts at overclocking seen to be very good. the ADV version is the newer version compared to the ADA version This version uses 89W not the 110W and it can go to 71c ver 65vs on the older version. Price is good now
Strengths: multi-tasking, temps
Weakness: none really, just expected better HSF from AMD
This is a great processor. I wanted it to handle my multi-tasking needs, and it has done a great job. My temps are around 41C under no load, and they get up to 50C under full load. I have noticed a big difference in system responsiveness, which I can attribute to the dual-core. Running Vista RC1, I had a score over 5 for this processor, so it should meet my needs for a good while to come. The...
Two are better than one
Strengths: Dual cores, lower power consumption.
Weakness: If I had waited 2 months, I could have saved $250! Some programs are not multiprocessor-friendly.
Software that can utilize both cores perform significantly faster. Multitasking with several programs running is also much smoother. However, there are some games out there that do not work well in a multiprocessor system. With some games, you can get around this by setting Processor Affinity to a single processor for the games exe in Task Manager.
