For anyone looking for a bargain upgrade, or toy to play around with.  Pentium (I know) chip, dual core.  At stock speeds (3.2Ghz) it's basically sh!t.  But it's multiplier unlocked, so ludicrous gains can be had.  I've not really seen anyone get less than 4.5Ghz out of this chip.  Basically it's  £50 processor that will overclock by around 40-50%.  At that speed it's as fast as an i7 processor which is 6 or 7 times the price!!

Bargain of the year.  I've just bought one to play around with in the new mini ITX rig I'm building

Will do well for my Plex server rig.

How did you find it?  I can't get mine to overclock for sh!t, just crashes after a while.

I have a plex box with one of these in, and overclocked it to 4.5ghz on the stock cooler no problem! You can go slightly over the recommended voltages because its so efficient and low temps galore!
