How are these? I haven't used AMD in years and I'm thinking of building an AMD box.

I'm AMD all the way but I've never used the dual core.

It is a surprisingly good cpu Bob, I have built a few units with this one. I like the Fm2 and 2+ series. For you I would rather see you with at least 4 meg cache though so that would be here:

You would be surprised how good these Apus actually are for video.

Wow I can remember not long ago I was using an Athlon 635 Propus, before that a 6000+ Athlon II dual core. They both ran great!

Yeah I had a unit with a Dual Core 6000 that was awesome!
