AMD
Validated Solutions
AMD Validated Solutions (AVS) takes the guesswork out of building and selling
high-quality, reliable commercial solutions based on AMD64 technology. Because
of our strong relationship with AMD, ASUS offers two socket AM2 motherboards
validated and supported by AVS.
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition Processor ADO5000DSWOF The top frequency AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 processor takes performance to the next
level for Enthusiasts. AMD is pushing the 65nm process technology to new limits.
Work or play with multiple programs without any stalling or waiting. Dual-core
technology is like having two processors, and two working together is better
and faster than one working alone.
Enormous
Overclocking Potential. "The 5000+ Black Edition is the ideal choice for users who wish to upgrade
their existing AM2 systems. Thanks to its low power dissipation even when
overclocked, buying a new cooling solution is unnecessary. Furthermore,
the low heat generation also means the system will not become much noisier
as a result of your overclocking experiments." - Bert Töpelt; tomshardware.com,

Note: This Processor is sold without
a Heatsink or Fan

An excellent combo. I am using this set up for photoshop and video converting and it works great. I'm sure it would be great as a mid level gaming rig too. I will be buying another one soon.
