AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Processor

Strengths: AMD, stable, ease of installation, great documentation, warrenty, and price.

Weakness: Not really any.

This is about my 12th processor and I buy nothing but AMD. For gaming, AMD is the best and much cheaper than comparable Pentiums. I have not encountered a problem with any of the AMD processors I've purchased. Installation is a snap and the documentation is excellent for the noobie. They stay plenty cool with the OEM heatsink and fan.

AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Processor

Strengths: good performance for a low price, easy installation

Weakness: not 64 bit

I purchased the 2700 XP to replace my aging 2000 XP without upgrading my motherboard (ASUS Nforce 2). The performance/price ratio sold me as the next step up (2800 XP) was $40 more for only a couple of framerate difference. Everything from games to the boot sequence is noticably quicker. This is the best choice for a budget upgrade imo. It was only $99 at New Egg and now I won't have to upgrade again for a few years to an Athlon 64.

AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Processor

Strengths: Fast, Cheap, reliable

Weakness: Does not work with every single piece of software, some require a intel based chipset

I've had almost no problems with this product, the temp of the proc is stable and the system in general runs okay, I do not have alot of extras on my computer though, I run Windows Server 2003 on it and have had a stable system from day one.

AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Processor

Strengths: Fast enough coupled with an ABIT NF7-S V2 mobo and Corsair 512MB Value Select RAM.

Weakness: None so far

Purchased the parts mentioned above after reading a review on the Abit motherboard and components that go well with it.

Managed to overclock without any problems.

AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Processor

Strengths: Complete package with installation instructions, heat sink and fan. Great price performance

Weakness: none

Installation was simple and successful by following the excellent illustrated guide that was included in the box. Everything went smoothly and it is working well.

The 2700+ was priced at around $100, which was lower than the Athlon or Sempron 2400, 2500 or 2600, so this is a bargain. The benchmarks show that it beats a 2.6 P4 and it is priced about the same as a 2.4 Celeron, so the price performance is hard to beat right now. I paid under $140 for CPU (box), with a KT600 based MoBo.

The performance is outstanding. I would purchase another without hesitation.

AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Processor

Strengths: Easy to install. Good processor for the price.

Weakness: Had some early problems with the motherboard recognizing this product.

Good processor this is the third I purchased for my office and they seem to be all working well. My system does not bogg down during multi tasking.Is able to keep up as my old computer was a Pentium and seemed to make my day longer.

AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Processor

Strengths: Very good chip for the price.

Weakness: None

This chip plays all the newest games. Very easy to overclock but not really needed that much. Right now I have it in a Asus A7N8X- DELUXE motherboard.

AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Processor

Strengths: STABILITY

Weakness: SMALL DIE(HARDER TO COOL)

I have two of these in my systems, and they are the best CPUs I've owned to date.I previously had an 1800 Palimino,a 2100 t-bred,and a 2400 t-bred. These 2700xps not only have the better default speed, but seem to have a higher end,as far as overclocking,also

AMD Athlon XP 2700+ Processor

Strengths: Documentation, overclockability, price,price,price

Weakness: I can't find one yet!

This is just another great product from AMD. I have been using AMD products since the "K-5" days. Now with the advent of the 64 bit technology I suspect that I'll be adding that product to the stable of solid performers that I have used over the past 20 yrs. This is a GREAT product! way to GO... AMD!
