This is a great deal for a budget chip. But, keep in mind, this IS a budget chip. You want to build a base line PC for work or school. Get it. You want something to game on, then look in the $100+ price range.
Also, this is an AM2+ socket chip, so if you don't already have an AM2+ motherboard, there is no justificatoin in buying both.
I would rate this chip a 7 out of 10.
PROS:
Good power consumption rate
Dual Core
Almost dead even with a Core 2 Duo E2160. (Which costs about $10 more)
CONS:
Slow speeds
Low L2 Cache
Weak Gaming Performance
Weak Multimedia Performance
