Pros: One of the fastest single core chips ever made. The 4000+ being only faster due to a larger L2 cache. Works perfectly. 939 is dead so it is amazing Newegg has any at all.

Cons: AMD dumped 939 for AM2 without good reason. There was and is still a market for them. No mobo's to support the CPU.

Overall Review: Still a great processor overall. It will not decode those movies like you would hope or do as many things at once, but for gaming you will not have complaints. I have this OC'd slightly to 2.64. I even have an old one of these that is missing a pin as it stuck to the heatsink when I was removing it and that processor still works. Maybe the only working 938 AMD chip in the world! Really great processor.

Pros: Great CPU, after straightening the pins

Cons: The bungholes in the shipping department at newegg packed it in a cheap, used padded envelope, which of course was crushed by the apes at UPS. The pins were pushed into the black foam, and about a dozen were bent. A hour with a mechanical pencil, and they are straight and it runs fine. Why didn't I RMA? The possibility of the next one being worse, and the shipping cost.

Overall Review: I guess the more you order from here, the less they feel like they have to care, as the hooks are set.
