Upgraded from the AMD Phenom 9150 1.8GHz that my machine came with about 9 years ago to the AMD Phenom 9750 2.4GHz. Compile time of my largest project went from 48 sec to 34 sec. Even with the "Cool & Quiet" feature enabled the system runs considerably faster after just $25 and 10 min of installation time. Very pleased with this CPU and how quickly I received it.

I only picked this up because its the highest speed quad cpu compatible with my board at 95w. I was upgrading my athlon 7450 dual core on the cheap. This new quad core isnt any amount faster but can perform tasks much easier in my htpc. 1080p with my ancient gt 610 is a lot smoother now. no more weird skipping on YouTube or Netflix. This is all I need for the living room. Even under full load it never reaches 50 so two super low speed quiet fans are barely required. Only way I could rate this better is if it did improve load times but like I said its just for movies and web browsing.

I love the phenom processor; it is plenty fast (2.4Ghz x 4)! Quad-core with 64-bit (Windows 7 - x64)processing really does dramatically improve overall system performance. I am Proudly rated 7.0 in the Windows 7 - Aero Scoring. I can game, watch a DVD, and do my college school work simultaneously. Even with this high work load; the phenom still has yet to show even the vaguest sign of reluctance. Mind that I am also running three displays, each application on it's own. I would highly (extremely) recommend an ATi Radeon HD series video card (4650 or up) to properly compliment this inspiring CPU. I have found that this combination of hardware is very well balanced. I can successfully run most (90% of) games at x8 Anti-Aliasing with the resolution at 1440x900x32@75hz(720p HD - HDMI). Both the Phenom and the HD Radeon combined with a good ASUS motherboard, makes for a really mean machine, just add a Creative sound card and you'll be banging too!Read full review
I got this CPU used for $56. For the money, this little CPU romps. I'll be replacing this CPU with a Phenom II 945, but I don't expect monstrous changes in doing so. I just want to max out my little AM2+ board since I've already sucessfully flashed my BIOS. Let me tell you, though, that this little processor flies. It scores a flat 7.0 in Windows 7 Experience rating. That's pretty darn tootin' when you consider that it only runs at 95W and I do not overclock it at all. If you have a chance to get one of these at a fair price and you have a MOBO that needs one, grab it and smile all the way home with it.
Dropped this CPU from ebay into an old e-machines computer, the extra 3 cores and extra speed made the computer as fast as a brand new one (with an additional memory upgrade).
