Relic45 Rating: Review Date: 11/03/09	Great Processor Comment: Runs Windows 7 64 bit like a charm and decent for gaming.
ABSOLUTEBOB Rating: Review Date: 11/03/09	Easy Install - Fast Delivery Comment: Everyone needs an upgrade eventually and this little guy did the trick. Make sure your PC meets the motherboard and system requirements. Easy to install. Ship it to your work address so you won't miss the delivery! I could have gotten it three days earlier.
Mike P Rating: Review Date: 11/02/09	Good processor Comment: Paired this CPU with a nice Gigabyte MOBO. Runs fast and cool. No installation problems and arrived only four days after I ordered it.
LS Rating: Review Date: 10/23/09	Excellent Processor Comment: I bought this CPU and a new Gigabyte MB, they are a great combination. This is my first AMD processor but it will not be my last, I'm very happy with it's performance.
John Rating: Review Date: 10/20/09	Great bang for the bux Comment: I bought this with a Gigabyte motherboard which died after 4 boot ups. RA'd the board back and went back to ASUS with the same features. Great cpu, especially in a board that works :)
Curly Rating: Review Date: 10/17/09	Sweet Comment: Just installed on an Asus M4N78 MB and all went very well. Well worth the price
Mumphrey@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/16/09	AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons:-Found that a 7750 beat it in gaming benchmarks-small, wimpy heatsink included Pros:-Price (although Intel offerings are creeping close)-Runs cool on inexpensive aftermarket cooler-Pretty good overclock-Decent for HTPC Comment: Cooler running than earlier X2s, better overclocking(3.7 unstable, stable at 3.45)capability and doesnt break the bank. No regrets, but now the X4 620 is looking pretty good. This review was modfied by poster @ 10-16-09 10:23 AM
MPG Rating: Review Date: 10/12/09	BIG BANG FOR THE BUCK Comment: At first I thought that the heatsink and fan looked a little puny for a 2.9 GHZ CPU, however, it does the job of keeping the cpu at 37C at idle and 43C when working, without being noisy. The CPU is faster than I expected and handles multiple graphic programs without delays. With 4 GB of ram, XP Pro boots up in 10 seconds. This makes an excellent heavy duty office machine at a price that can't be beat.
KB Rating: Review Date: 10/11/09	quality processor Comment: excellent for the price. this one i would buy again.
hawk56013 Rating: Review Date: 10/03/09	Great price for Great processor Comment: Used this for my first ever build! Works great with my Asus M4N78 Pro Mobo and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. No issues so far. Awesome price!
Kramy@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 10/01/09	AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons:-Dual-core "only" Pros:-Price-Speed-Overclockability-Power consumption Comment: I picked this up to replace my Athlon X2 4000+ at 2.6ghz.With default voltage in the BIOS, and almost no effort, this CPU overclocked to 3.55ghz.Blazing fast, and according to my Kill-A-Watt, uses 30-40 watts less than my Athlon X2. Very happy with my purchase.I noticed games load much quicker now, and x264 encodes about three times as many frames per second. Would definitely buy again for an HTPC or even cheap gaming computer.
Cyric Rating: Review Date: 09/28/09	Good Processor Comment: Good quality, work well on my ASUS M2N68-AM SE2 Motherboard.
crash2k@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/19/09	AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons:- Nothing wrong to say for that price Pros:- Very good price when in bundle with Gigabyte 785G- Good performance for the price- Perfect for an HTPC- Good Energy efficiency Comment: This AMD cpu series is very good considering the price they are selling them. I builded 2 HTPC and they are performing really well. They are enough powerful for the day to day tasks. Very good values if not needed for a gaming machine.
eze311 Rating: Review Date: 09/13/09	Nice value Comment: Have Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit running for 3 weeks, no problems and great performance for cheap
gamer73 Rating: Review Date: 09/12/09	runs great Comment: this cpu is very fast think it might keep up with my 6000+ dual core that runs at 3.5 ghz runs nice and cool at 38 Deg cel.
Bryan_C@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/11/09	AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons:Not a high end more expensive processor. Pros:Dirt cheap - belongs enshrined in the top of the bargain bin. Comment: It's hard to get a more solid processor for under $100. It's in my sister's computer, and does everything she needs it to. If she ever feels the need to upgrade, ditching an $85 processor is fairly painless.
Anonymous Rating: Review Date: 09/10/09	Excellent chip... Comment: Awesome performance for the price! I'm runnnig this in a Gigabyte AM2+ motherboard and it screams down the street! I haven't overclocked this beauty yet cause I'm still waiting for the new to wear off before I hammer it down for performance.
Von Rating: Review Date: 09/06/09	Awesome Comment: Look you are getting a 2.9GHZ dual core for under 75 dollars. It was an easy choice for me... Easily overclocked to 3.4GHZ without breaking a sweat. Just an awesome CPU!
Rob_W@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/05/09	AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons:none so far Pros:Good price bundled with motherboardEasy to overclockruns cool Comment: I've built 2 systems with this cpu & am very happy. 20% overclock paired with a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM motherboard with no problems.AMD may not be leading the processor war but still provides good value. Runs cool even with the overclock.
SilV@NCIX Rating: Review Date: 09/03/09	AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.9GHz Socket AM3 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Cons:dual core :P Pros:price when bundle with a gigabyte 785g Comment: cheap dual core for everyday net surfing and other miscellaneous small tasks.comes with heat sink + fan and does the job, what more can one ask for such a cheap dual corek2.9ghz
frokid Rating: Review Date: 09/02/09	Good for the buck Comment: Yep great deal for the amount that is for sure. I am able to game at high speeds, no more lag time (in general), and everything runs smooth and fast. But remember that if you get this cpu to get an AM3 board. Nevertheless, for the performance that it offers (and I love mine) and its low price, it is totally worth it.
