This experience has been very frustrating and I still do not have the part I need to get my computer up and running again. I finally had to contact Amazon to see if they could do anything I am still awaiting their decision to see if I will be getting the correct item or a refund. When I received my item it was not the one I ordered, it had a different socket number, so it did not fit in my tower. I tried contacting the merchant for exchange or refund with no replies at all.
I thought I would replace my older single core processor, at the same time, I was upgrading my Mother Board and Memory.The processor was delivered in a timely manner with no damages or needed returns.I had an unexpected problem with the mother board and had to install everything without the DVD drive, normally used for installing all the drivers.When I booted it up for the first time, after a lenghy pause, and entering the Key, everything ran as smooth as Pug'N Play.I downloaded all the newest drivers plus, newer software, I would have found on the DVD install disc, from the manufactures web site.I would re-order computer parts from Amazon in the future.
processor speed.It all makes a difference. I upgraded my 64x2 3600 2.0 mhz to this processor,it is quite a bit faster than the 3600,took Vista experience on processor from a 4.0 to a 4.9,I then added a Radeon HD4850 graphics card and the experience level went to 5.0.
If you are looking for the X2 4400+ for Socket AM2, buy this but verify that your motherboard supports it - Tiger will not accept a return of CPU. Tiger Direct shows the picture and describes the older Socket 939 version of this Athlon 64 X2 processor, but it is not what is shipped. This is also the 65W (lower power) version which saves energy. The price is great for what you receive. What you actually get is the newer Socket AM2 version of the same CPU. It will not fit in a Socket 939 because it has one or two additional pins which prevent it from going in.
Works faster than I think and I install first with Windows XP, but the computer run to fast, so I install Windows Vista and its the same, works very fast. This is a very good processor you can buy, it works very quiet.
