certainly, the X2 3800+ is a kickass dual core cpu. It will handle wht ever you throw at it. I read in an article the X2 3800+ beat some of the more highend Pentium Ds in benchmarks
You are gonna be amazed when it's up and running
I have the model above it on AM2 and I can run 5 virus and spyware programs, surf the web, watch a movie, and listen to music only using 45% CPU!
It's on hell of a cpu
Good luck and hope you enjoy it
AMD RULES
