The AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ "Black Edition" is a nice gift from AMD to the enthusiast community. An unlocked CPU multiplier and lots of overclocking headroom make this an awesome value at only $130. For those who already own a lower end AM2 processor, this would be an excellent drop-in replacement for a nice performance boost. As an added benefit the Brisbane based 5000+ runs very cool and does not need a high end HSF to overclock it. Thanks to the unlocked multiplier, you don't need a sophisticated mainboard to overclock it either.
