AMD Athlon II X2 215 Dual Core Processor Socket AM3 2.7GHZ 1MB L2 Cache 65W OEM
Cons:no HSF included, but barely a con.

Pros:cheap, dual core, AM3, low power usage, low temperature
Comment:
Good little CPU to keep around for the next low power rig i have to build. for $30, good to keep around till i need it. Nothing new, so i know what to expect from it. Fast enough, probably decently overclockable, and cheaaaap.

AMD Athlon II X2 215 Dual Core Processor Socket AM3 2.7GHZ 1MB L2 Cache 65W OEM
Cons:Wattage could be a lot lower

Pros:Dual CorePrice
Comment:
It's a dual core with 1MB of cache. It works fine for every day tasks, but I wouldn't get it to game or do anything intensive. Paired with a MSI 785GM-P45 it's perfect for someone who does a lot of web surfing, very light gaming or watching HD videos or movies.

AMD Athlon II X2 215 Dual Core Processor Socket AM3 2.7GHZ 1MB L2 Cache 65W OEM
Cons:stupid OEM, didn't notice at first and when the order came in, it didnt have any heatsink

Pros:-cheap-amd
Comment:
Bought it in combo with an msi 785GM-P45 for 99$ but as I read the reviews i can see some people got it for much cheaper including a heatsink. Had to pay a 8$ more for a new arctic alpine heatsink. Watch out when you buy products and make sure its not OEM if you don't plan on buying a separate heatsink.
